The exhibition features current CFEVA Fellows Lauren Sandler and Alana Walters. Linked by their attention to tactility, sense of place, and research-driven methods, this exhibition showcases two artists who investigate material, environment, and time across distinct media. Together, they construct tangible concepts and embody their exploration in their work.
This exhibition is in partnership with The Science Center at 3600 Market, the former Esther Klein Gallery. For decades, the Science Center has embraced the arts as a vital part of innovation and community-building. From Esther Klein’s visionary belief that art and science together spark curiosity, creativity, and progress, to today’s partnerships with organizations like the Center for Emerging Visual Artists, that commitment remains central to our mission. By investing in diverse, local artistic talent, the Science Center continues to create space for new voices, perspectives, and ideas—recognizing that a vibrant, inclusive arts ecosystem strengthens both our innovation community and the city we call home.
