“Chosen Family” and “Mutual Aid” art exhibition. Pastels by Carolyn Olson

On View: November 4, 2025 – January 4, 2026

For the last year I have been working on this body of work. The stories of mutual aid and chosen family are important to retell now more than ever. We’re reminded that we aren’t alone, that our families and community need us as much as we need them. We stay connected to the good – reject the chaos. We bring our best to each day and make the world better.
