FINAL DAYS!

This weekend is your last chance to experience the exhibition of works by Serge Kovalchuk at Gainesboro Modern.

Bold, layered, and quietly immersive, the exhibition has transformed our Union Gallery over the past several weeks—and we’re grateful to everyone who has spent time with it.

If you haven’t seen it yet, now’s the time.

Open today through Sunday, May 10th:
Thursday–Saturday 10–5
Sunday 11–3

Small town. Global art.
Free admission. Always.

A BIG moment—literally.

Emerge (1983) by Tom Lieber has officially arrived at Gainesboro Modern—and it’s as powerful in person as it is large.

This extraordinary work was generously donated through the Martin Z. Margulies Foundation of Miama with shipping made possible by Wasioto Restoration Co & The Marc K. Stengel Family.

Lieber’s work is held in major institutions including The Guggenheim and The Met—and now, it’s here.

We couldn’t be more excited to welcome this piece into the collection.

Be among the first to see it!
Thursday - Saturday, 10am - 5pm
Sunday, 11am - 3 pm

Free admission. Always.
