Lynn Beldner: Uncertain Navigation
March 7 – April 20, 2024

Opening Reception: Saturday, March 23rd from 1-4 pm

Transmission Gallery presents Uncertain Navigation, a solo exhibition by Lynn Beldner in our small space gallery, March 7 – April 20, 2024. The exhibition features a collection of Beldner’s delicate and sensitive works elevating the modest artifacts of daily life. Encapsulated, isolated, yet placed in conjunction, the careful attention Beldner brings to each element points the way to its meaning and value.

All are invited to attend the Artist’s Reception, Saturday, March 23nd, 1-4 pm, with light refreshments served on our outdoor deck, weather permitting.
