BAYarts exhibits 'The Insistent Now'

Lane Cooper's acrylic-on-canvas, titled "Z2," is one of the works showcased in "The Insistent Now" at BAYarts through the end of the year.

Examining ephemeral experiences of the present moment, "The Insistent Now" is the latest exhibition to grace the Sullivan Family Gallery at BAYarts.

It is curated by Michael Abarca of Forum Artspace and features the work of Lane Cooper, Andy Curlowe, Sarah Kabot, Liz Maugans, Michael T. Meier, Dante Rodriguez, Royden Watson and Nikki Woods. These Cleveland-area artists command attention to the here and now. Whether it's through interpreting elusive experiences, creating spacial interventions or constructing idealized perennial landscapes, these artists explore, address and confront the demands of the ever-expanding present.

An opening reception will be held Friday, Nov. 14, from 7-9 p.m. Visitors may visit the gallery Tuesdays through Saturdays from 9 a.m.-3 p.m., through the months of November and December.
