CURRENT EXHIBITIONS
THEMES & COLORS
Date: April 24 - June 28, 2026
OPENING RECEPTION: SATURDAY MAY 16th from 1-4pm
Themes & Colors explores the dynamic relationship between subject matter and palette, bringing together a group of artists whose works are organized through both thematic focus and color sensibility. Rather than isolating each artist, the exhibition intentionally interweaves their voices, allowing shared themes and palettes to reveal distinctly individual approaches.
By presenting multiple artists within the same thematic and color frameworks, the exhibition emphasizes how no single subject or palette yields a singular outcome. A shared blue can feel serene in one work and distant in another. Greens may suggest vitality or imbalance. Monochromatic compositions can unify or isolate, depending on the artist’s intent.
This exhibition also includes two sensory components that extend the experience beyond viewing. In the music section, a listening station invites visitors to play a record while engaging with the artwork, encouraging a deeper and more immersive connection. An interactive wall, curated and created by Justin Winkel, invites viewers to participate directly by adding their own mark to an ongoing artwork.
Themes & Colors invites viewers to look beyond surface similarities and engage with nuance. It is not only an exploration of what is depicted, but how each artist uniquely interprets and transforms both theme and color into a personal visual language.
Featured Artists:
Arvay Adams, Federico Gauna, Shawn Humes, Tracey Halvorsen, Ricardo Roig, Casey White, Justin Winkel
JUSTIN WINKEL: THE SHARED SURFACE
Date: Now open - TBD
Public participation is available during normal gallery hours.
The Shared Surface is a public, interactive exhibition and social experiment that invites visitors to become part of the artwork itself.
A large-scale work is installed directly on the gallery wall and developed daily by Justin Winkel. Visitors are encouraged to contribute their own marks, transforming the surface into a layered composition shaped by collective participation.
The process is continuously documented, capturing both the physical transformation of the artwork and the reactions of those invited to engage with it. The exhibition functions as both a studio space and a social experiment, raising questions about artistic control, public response, and willingness to participate. It challenges the assumptions and hesitations non-artists may have about contributing to a real, evolving artwork.
The goal is to observe how the public responds, whether they feel compelled to leave their own mark, or whether they remain hesitant or restrained out of concern for altering or “messing up” the work.
As the work evolves, marks may remain, be altered, or disappear entirely, creating a record of shared presence and change.
At the conclusion of the exhibition, the completed surface will be cut into smaller works. These fragments will form the final presentation, each carrying traces of the whole.
ON-GOING COLLECTION

PAST EXHIBITIONS
WINTER GROUP SHOW
Date: January 31 - April 12, 2026
Our winter group exhibition brings together works that turn toward the natural world. Across the gallery, florals are rendered with restraint, repetition, and close attention to surface. Sculptural works explore texture, material, and form, while abstract pieces distill natural rhythms and environments into gesture and composition. A seascape holds movement without urgency. Together, these works reflect a shared impulse to slow down and observe. They are not depictions of nature as spectacle, but as presence. Each piece invites a pause, asking the viewer to look closely and stay a little longer.
Featured Artists: Ricardo Roig, Federico Gauna, Tracey Halvorsen, Shawn Humes, Justin Winkel
ARVAY ADAMS: ON THIS DAY
Date: January 31 - March 5, 2026
Due to the popularity of this exhibition, we have extended the show until March 5, before ‘WE INSIST,’ the center piece of the exhibition, heads to its permanent collection Friday March 6.
Presented during Black History Month, On This Day features Arvay Adams’ transformation of pivotal historical moments into powerful works of art that capture the emotional weight of events significant not only to Baltimore, but to the nation. Anchored by a commissioned painting inspired by the 1955 Reads Drug Store sit-in, a catalyst that prompted similar acts of protest across the country, the exhibition reflects Adams’ deep engagement with Black history and collective memory.
Through a layered process of mixed media and collage, Adams collapses time, transporting viewers directly into these moments. His use of color, texture, and intentionally aged details evokes the experience of standing within history itself. Alongside the commissioned work, Adams presents additional paintings that document other moments in time, expanding the exhibition beyond a single event and reinforcing his ongoing exploration of memory, place, and lived experience.
MAY PANG: The Lost Weekend | Photographs of John Lennon
Date: July 26 - July 28 2024
Few people knew John Lennon as intimately as May Pang. Pang was Lennon’s lover during the infamous “Lost Weekend” which lasted 18 months during late 1973 through 1975. During this highly creative time for Lennon, Pang took candid photos of Lennon in a comfortable, relaxed environment. A collection of these private photographs will be on display and available during the exhibit at Winkel Gallery. This exhibit coincides with the recent digital release of the feature film documentary “The Lost Weekend : A Love Story,” produced by Briarcliff Entertainment.
Arvay Adams: Participation Trophy
Date: May 10 - June 23, 2024
Arvay Adams, a Baltimore native and MICA graduate, introduces his inaugural major exhibit, "Participation Trophy," seamlessly melding the realms of Art, Sports, and Culture in an extraordinary display of creativity. Through a unique fusion of traditional techniques and contemporary vision, Adams invites viewers to explore the harmonious intersectionality of these seemingly distinct worlds. The collection serves as a captivating bridge, challenging conventional perspectives and encouraging a deeper contemplation of shared experiences. With masterful strokes, Adams navigates the symbiotic relationship between art and sports, offering a fresh and thought-provoking perspective. Set against the backdrop of his hometown, "Participation Trophy" promises an immersive experience, transcending boundaries and leaving an indelible mark on Baltimore's artistic landscape.
Tracy Halvorsen: Stories
Date: February 9 - March 24, 2024
In the Stories collection, Halvorsen draws inspiration from artists such as Rembrandt and Delacroix, blending elements from her early work with her contemporary practice. The result is a disciplined yet unrestrained body of work. By reshaping the visual language of the old masters, she challenges traditional interpretation, bridging history and fluidity.
Revisiting line work and stroke patterns from earlier pieces, Halvorsen layers her artistic evolution with subtle intention, granting viewers the freedom to construct their own narratives. This exhibition spans over twenty years, tracing Halvorsen’s journey from her time in graduate school to the present day, and reflecting the continued evolution of her practice.
