Donna Beam Fine Art Gallery is pleased to announce the fall 2025 show Provocations, Sept. 5-Oct. 10, 2025. The opening reception is 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. on Sept. 5. It is free and open to the public.
Provocations kicks off the Donna Beam Gallery’s 2025-26 season with a diverse array of contemporary, three-dimensional art. True to its title, the exhibition urges visitors to question established assumptions — provoking fresh inquiries into what each work communicates, why particular materials are chosen, and how form and content collide. By stretching the limits of medium and subject, Provocations invites a daring reassessment of artistic conventions.
