This exhibition runs Jun. 15-Aug. 1, 2026, with an opening reception on Sat., Jun. 20 and an artist & curator talk on Sat., Jul. 18. Art Enables proudly presents Ceej Maples: Good Luck With That, the artist's first solo exhibition. Through his illustrative realism and ink mastery, Maples brings his internal struggles and triumphs to life, weaving humor, pain, and irony into every work. His art serves as both self-expression and therapy, helping him cope with physical and mental challenges. In Good Luck With That, Maples explores life's lighthearted and darker aspects, confronting hardships with wit and imagination. The title piece, which is both earnest and sarcastic, encapsulates this sentiment: life is difficult, but facing it with humor and creativity can make the journey more bearable.

* This exhibition runs Jul. 27–Sep. 5, with a public reception on Sat., Aug. 1. * Designing through the Geometry comprises two series, Jupiter Background in Black and Time, by Argentinian artist Maria Santiago. Time is invisible. The Past-Present-Future is one with constant movement: yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Time transforms into small movements or changes. Time is magic. The artist focuses on color and time, where everything is always moving and everything changes. However, the background is completely quiet, and the shapes are only inside the circle as time passes. This mixed-media show focuses on what it means to explore texture and bright colors against geometric shapes.
