Julia C. Butridge Gallery

The Julia C. Butridge Gallery is located in the heart of the arts district adjacent to the Long Center and Butler Park at the Dougherty Arts Center, a multi-cultural community arts center providing opportunities for creative expression to citizens for over 30 years. Visitors enjoy an exceptional 2,000 square feet of exhibit space in the main gallery, and an additional 480 square feet in newly renovated gallery space. The natural collision of creative activity at the arts center contributes to the gallery’s longstanding reputation among the arts community as an accessible and nurturing venue and incubator, ideal for emerging and established artists. The gallery is free and open to the public.

The Sanguine Heart
Discover a sense of the sacred in Logan Marconi’s new exhibit, The Sanguine Heart. Landscape remnants act as anchor points to locations hovering between presence and absence while layers of glazes produce luminosity and delicate atmospheres that inspire stillness and contemplation. Each painting is worked and reworked, allowing images to disappear and emerge until they reach a state of silence.
