“Sway” by Alexandra Beaumont
Opening Reception: Saturday, July 25, 2026, 6 - 9 PM
Exhibitions run July 25 - August 30, 2026

Sway is a solo exhibition by Minneapolis-based textile artist and dancer Alexandra Beaumont that celebrates movement as a powerful force for building community and solidarity. Her textile work focuses on collective movement, social dance, and gathering to reclaim the present through the body, with each stitch and layer reflecting expressions of collective power found in stepping in time together. Drawing from her personal experience with line dancing and her heritage as the daughter of musicians, Beaumont’s pieces explore the tension of unified bodies moving within structured grids while inviting flourishes of color and swirl. Her practice features large-scale cloth banners—often centering painted, embroidered, and beaded silhouettes of friends and neighbors on sheer cloths—that capture the visual and kinetic joy of the dance floor.
