Tonight is movie night 🍿🎥

Join us this evening (3.27.26) at OFFLINE for a final gathering: a screening of Motown Record’s 80’s classic THE WIZ. We’ll open the evening with a short chat with Hadiya followed by the movie.

This film is one of those pieces of art Hadiya often returns to again and again. When she thinks about what shaped her eye, her sensibility, the way she understands Black aesthetics and visual imagination, THE WIZ is right at the top of that list. If you know, you know.

March 27, 2026
7:00PM — Conversation with Hadiya
7:30PM — Movie

Come hang out, watch the film, and spend a little more time with the work before it closes.

Maretha & Bernice | The inspiration is ongoing but the naming is a call back to Hadiya’s revisiting of August Wilson’s The Piano Lesson.

This annual exhibition bash has just two rules: all work must measure 10 x 10 inches and be priced at $60. The gallery will be bursting with over 300 artworks donated by 200 artists. See the full exhibition in person December 13-15 and online thereafter, but starting December 18th, buyers may take their work home for instant gratification. The show will be rearranged each week to promote new discoveries, and we encourage you to come back again and again!
