    The vernal equinox is in March – the timing for our 3rd show of 2025


    March 1 to April 2

    Reception: Sat. March 1, 2-5 pm

    Additional Viewing: Wed. March 12, 4-7:30 pm 


    An exhibition inspired by the transition we experience when the earth tips once more toward the sun. 9 artists from the Heliconian Club Visual Arts section share visions inspired by the vernal equinox:  images of joy, emergence, spring and change, the earth in balance and shifting to the next season, a world in flux.

    Admission is free.  


    Does Equinox suggest spring to you with its budding trees and tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and crocuses? Or does it have a more symbolic meaning? Perhaps is represents a moment of emergence, a new hope for the world as the days become brighter. Or is this the tipping point when the decisions we make about the environment can send the world forward towards healing or backwards into even more catastrophic event?
