There's still time to sign up for this workshop!!

In this workshop, participants will be guided through a playful, contemplative sculpture process that focuses on the attachment between people, materials, and other entities. We will follow curiosity and pay attention to the senses as we touch, hold, manipulate, combine and connect a range of materials and objects. As we create, we may reflect on relational attachment in our lives, noticing parallels that emerge through materials and forms.

Xchanges Gallery is excited to announce the opening of Rowan Doucette - Threshold on Friday, March 6, 2026, 6:30pm – 9pm

Show Runs Saturday/Sundays : March 7-22, 2026

Artist Q&A: Sunday March 22, 1:00pm

Threshold features diary excerpts, miniature oil paintings, and thickly worked surfaces depicting gates in various states of opening. Throughout the work, the theme of shielding and revealing becomes a guiding force, as Doucette navigates the fine line between abstraction and realism.

Each painting functions simultaneously as barrier and passage, inviting viewers to consider what is held back, what is let through, and what it means to move between states of openness, protection, and enclosure.
