Nichols, North, and Sterner Atrium Galleries

Spring 2026 Exhibitions

Discover three dynamic exhibitions celebrating art, science, and whimsy across SJIMA’s Nichols, North, and Sterner Atrium galleries.

From March 6 through June 1, 2026, SJIMA presents new work by Lauren Boilini, Janis Miltenberger, and Dan Brown. Swirling flocks and rhythmic patterns explore abundance and meaning; intricate glass sculptures weave stories of grief, healing, and imagination; and lively sculptures of iron and wood celebrate the playful spirit of the Northwest. Together, these exhibitions invite visitors to rediscover creativity, nature, and the transformative power of art.

Upcoming Exhibitions

June 11 – September 14, 2026

Three extraordinary exhibitions explore a century of artistic vision, the poetry of feathers in flight, and the luminous world beneath the sea.

From June 11 through September 14, 2026, SJIMA presents a landmark summer season. In the Nichols Gallery, the work of Imogen Cunningham, Roi Partridge, and Rondal Partridge comes together for the first time — over 100 photographs and prints spanning three generations of one remarkable family. In the North Gallery, Washington artist Chris Maynard transforms ethically sourced feathers into intricate shadow box scenes that shift and shimmer with every change of light. And in the Sterner Atrium, Lopez Island-raised glass sculptor Raven Skyriver fills the soaring glass space with marine life captured in molten form. Together, these three exhibitions celebrate vision, craft, and a deep connection to the natural world.
