Union Hall Gallery Presents “Touchpoints with Artists: Darby Haily, Alex Parrasch, Andie Ryan Round, Emma Limtiaco, John Dewey, Sara Ajami, Sarah Stevenson February 7, 2025 - March 21, 2025 Opening Reception: Friday, February 7, 2025 5 p.m. - 8 p.m. During the opening reception, several of the artists will speak about their personal practice and the insights gained from creating collaborative work. The exhibition ’Touchpoints’, highlights the transformative potential of collaborative art making as explored through the student-led seminar "DISCO", created and facilitated by MFA candidate Darby Simmons at Claremont Graduate University. In this seminar, artists initiated individual artworks and passed them to fellow participants, with each piece evolving through the contributions of the group. The result is a dynamic collection of works embodying shared creative processes, innovation, and collective imagination. To complement these collaborative pieces, the exhibition will also feature one individual work from each artist, providing insight into their personal practices and sparking dialogue on the interplay between individual and collective creation. Please join us for the opening reception or during gallery hours. Gallery Hours: Fridays 2 p.m. – 6 p.m., Saturdays & Sundays: 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., and by appointment Visit: Union Hall Gallery

Join us for a FREE in-person Death Cafe, where we’ll come together to explore one of life’s greatest mysteries—death—through honest, open conversation. Why Attend a Death Cafe? Death is a natural part of life, yet few of us have ever gathered with others to talk about it. By breaking the silence and openly discussing death, we can reduce fear and anxiety, gain clarity on end-of-life planning, and learn how to better support ourselves and loved ones through life’s most challenging transitions. What to Expect Open, Respectful Conversation: Bring your curiosity, experiences, and questions. This is a welcoming, agenda-free space for sharing and listening. A Supportive Atmosphere: Come as you are. Whether you’re reflecting on your own journey or the passing of someone close, you’re not alone. Light Refreshments: Please arrive between 9 a.m. and 9:20 to get a drink and settle in. Enjoy complimentary snacks, tea, and coffee as we foster connection and understanding in a comfortable setting. Who Should Attend? Everyone is welcome—no prior experience or knowledge is required. If you’ve never talked about death before, this is a gentle way to start. Hosted By: Nicole, EcoLove Transitions—End-of-life Educator and Planner, Death Doula, and After Death Care Specialist Questions? Contact us at support@ecolovetransitions.com or call 858-815-1818 or 800-604-0270.
