Gallery 51 new exhibit: “Ecologies of the in/between” opens Oct. 17 – Nov. 4, 2026.

This exhibition is an invitation to the in\between—a proximal zone of time and space that holds the tensions & potentialities between what was, what is, and what can be. OPENING RECEPTION on Friday, October 17, 5-7 PM at Gallery 51 | 51 Main Street, N. Adams. The exhibition brings together four artists—Johanna Hedva, CAConrad, Kelsey Shultis, and Báyò Akómoláfé—whose work collectively moves across and between forms—drawing, painting, sculpture, poetry, sound—in an embrace of plurality, thresholds, and portals. Here doom exists alongside possibility, resistance moves with surrender, and affinity brushes up against antipathy.
