Horsing Around! A Year of the Horse Open Studio

Drop In Saturday, January 17 | 12 PM – 3 PM

Chinese New Year, or Lunar New Year, marks the start of the lunar calendar and is observed in many cultures as a time of transition between years. The Chinese zodiac assigns one of twelve animals to each year, serving as a cultural framework for understanding broad themes associated with that time period.

The Year of the Horse, which begins in 2026, is traditionally associated with movement, autonomy, and outward expression—ideas that parallel creative process and experimentation.

You can explore this energy yourself in our relaxed open studio, creating a movable paper horse you can pose and personalize. As you work, take a moment to reflect on the year ahead. Materials are provided, or feel free to bring your own project to enjoy alongside friends and community.

While you’re in the gallery, be sure to visit ITERATIONS: Rhythm & Reason, on view through January 31, 2026, featuring work by Peter Christian Johnson, Janice Lessman-Moss, and Brinsley Tyrrell.
