Join us for First Friday; our gallery and studio spaces will be open to the public!

On display in the Yards Gallery we will have artworks by Brenza Arts! It is her first solo show and it will be an event for individuals that want to grow and accept the love they deserve, both mentally and physically. The goal of Brenna’s artwork and this show is to remind you that your body is way more than just appearance. That simply existing as a human in this life is magic, it’s okay to have bad days, weeks, months, or years. There is always room for acceptance and growth. Brenna hopes that her artwork sparks those feelings within you. This exhibition is on display until 9/10/23.

Some words from Brenna about this exhibition… “The human body and mind is a work of art and should be celebrated. My artwork is inspired by body neutrality, nature and mental health. Growing up as a highly sensitive individual I was constantly creating art as an outlet for my emotions. With the experience and platform that I have now, I am able to help others who may struggle with their body image or who feel like they are too sensitive, with my artwork.”

Bonus! A special pop-up will be outdoors with Yards Members on 9/1 from 6-9pm & 9/2 from 10am-2pm to close out our Summer Pop-Up Series.
