Spring 2026 Exhibitions

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