Upcoming Exhibit
Illuminated Fundamentals
53 First St. Hudson, OH 44236
February 13, 2026 — May 2, 2026

Illuminated Fundamentals centers on the essential elements that support a meaningful, connected life—purpose, autonomy, connection, self-acceptance, play, and strong support networks. These fundamentals shape how we understand ourselves, relate to others, and navigate the world.
Through immersive, visual, and interactive experiences, the exhibit explores ideas that are often difficult to articulate. By engaging with nature, touching sand, activating consciousness through time-travel experiences, connecting with community, and allowing memory and emotion to surface, visitors encounter these essentials in embodied, sensory ways.
The work calls on nature for guidance and reflection. It asks viewers to pause, slow down, and recognize themselves as part of a larger whole—an essential element within a shared system. This is an invitation to be present, to reflect, and to engage curiosity.
When visiting Peg’s Foundation & Gallery, we invite you to experience something different—to learn, to reflect, and to carry empathy beyond the gallery walls. You may discover a new insight, recall a meaningful memory, or recognize your own role in supporting others.
Illuminated Fundamentals is a reminder that introspection, connection, and play are not luxuries, but necessities.
Know thyself.
