Rain Worthington
Mark your calendars for a major exhibition! We are thrilled to host Rain Worthington in the Gugg Gallery this spring. Rain has been hard at work fabricating large-scale sculptures specifically for this space, translating complex concepts into full-size, moving pieces.
This exhibition is a true feat of engineering and art—expect a transformation of the gallery featuring sculptural elements set in motion and unique visualizations designed for our back space.
Opening Reception: March 13, 2026
Exhibition Dates: March 13 – April 12, 2026 (open for viewing on Fridays from 3-9 PM or by appointment)

Exhibition Dates: April 17 – May 8, 2026
