MAINSITE Contemporary Art (122 E Main) is celebrating the dual exhibitions Spiritual But Not Religious from artist Curtis Jones and Draw Near by artist Rachel Beer.

Curtis Jones is an artist and educator working in Norman, OK where he teaches Printmaking at the University of Oklahoma. “I base my practice around repetition and try to exploit its overlapping relationships with ritual, meditation, obsession, psychosis, and modernity.” Spiritual But Not Religious reflects Jones’ interests in psychedelia, punk rock, surrealism, and outsider art.

Rachel Beer is a visual artist and educator from Central Oklahoma who is currently based in Lawrence, Kansas. Her practice utilizes the language of observational drawing to cultivate devoted attention towards the lowly, the weedy, and the overlooked. "Draw Near acts as an invitation to pause, contemplate, and question the stories we believe about ourselves, each other, and this planet we call home."

Set up in the Library Gallery is ThruMyEyez's exhibition Emotions in Motion. In his signature style, ThruMyEyez uses bright colors, characters, and storytelling to communicate and bring emotions to life.
