This August, Burke Mercantile celebrates 5 years of the Burke Residency Program, showcasing a rotating quarterly roster of over 30 emerging contemporary artists and fashion designers. To celebrate this milestone, they invited ten of their favorite past Residency artists to participate in their first ever group art show.

The theme for this show is HOPE, a concept that feels resonant and necessary at our current moment in time. During challenging times, we can always find hope through Art. Each artist was asked to offer one piece representing their interpretation of hope in our current times through their own preferred medium.

The Opening Reception will take place on Saturday, August 17th from 6-9pm, and 7 of the local participating artists will be in attendance. There will be beverages sponsored by HiLo Liquor, complimentary bites by BARYO, and florals by RawFinery.
