Photo Tour of ‘The New Vanguard III’ at Lancaster MOAH

We’re proud to present a photo tour of The New Vanguard III at the Lancaster Museum of Art and History. The New Vanguard III features group exhibition “Small Victories” that focuses on suicide prevention and mental health, alongside solo shows from Kayla Mahaffey, Kevin Peterson, Kathy Ager, and Alex Garant.  

In recent years we have lost one of our greatest friends and allies, along with one of our rising stars, to this ever-growing epidemic. Depression and suicide are very widespread in the creative community and we want to help raise awareness and offer support for those suffering. If it helps guide just one person out of the darkness, it was more than worth it to mount this collection of works.

September is National Suicide Prevention Month. If someone you know needs your support, please don’t hesitate to drop them a call, invite them to a Zoom group, swing by if you can… just let them know they are loved and needed.

10% of sales will be donated to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

Kathy Ager’s Studio Tour for exhibition ‘Fool’s Gold’ at MOAH

Kathy Ager – Fool’s Gold | September 12, 2020 – December 27, 2020

The inspiration behind ‘Fool’s Gold’: For this body of work, I continued to delve into my own personal experiences and observations and seek ways to express them through objects and light. A lot of my inspiration comes from my more painful experiences and outlook on life, but I try to make something beautiful out of that darkness. I was particularly inspired by the alienation I felt last year when caught up with someone who valued the pursuit of the party life over building something solid and real. That’s where the title “Fool’s Gold” came from. It’s painful to feel like you’re not enough, but to those who are after more fucked up pursuits and easy highs – the fool’s gold – you will never be valued the way you deserve. I find so much inspiration in that heartbreak.
