Drew Michael: Water’s Edge

04/02/2025 - 04/26/2025

April

“Water is life. We come from water and earth. In this show, I want to bring us to the water’s edge—to appreciate and honor the spirits of water, animals, and land. I was born a mirror twin in the month of March near the Kuskokwim River in Bethel, Alaska and I have always felt a connection to bodies of water. In many communities around the world people often live by some form of water whether it be a river, lake or the ocean. In these places where the water and the land meet many things transform. Life comes to existence; and life can be taken away. And just as there is an ebb and flow of the water, our lives are transformed and changed as things come in and out. The Yup’ik people of western Alaska believe that everything has spirit and, in this time, we must honor and protect the waters that we so rely on for subsistence and our ways of life. Through these pieces I encourage all to remember the importance of water and of protecting the lands that they connect to, and the animals that live within and around…

Masks of the Pacific Northwest Coast

06/05/2025 - 06/28/2025

A Group Exhibit

This year we celebrate MASKS of the Pacific Northwest Coast. The mask is an ancient and magnificent object used in ceremony and performance among the peoples of this region.

While many objects on the Coast combine utilitarian functionality with refined beauty, few traditional objects are as iconic to the Pacific Northwest Coast art and culture as masks. Whether it is a portrait mask or a transformation mask, a personal clan crest, or a supernatural character, each one has its own presence, its own story to tell, and a deep connection to the artist who created it. Masks allow the wearer to embody transformation. The creation process for a mask is a transformation unto itself, turning base materials into a sacred object that reflects a likeness from the world around us. Each mask is imbued with power in this way and that is why masks are timeless.

Hib Sabin’s Cast of Characters

09/04/2025 - 09/30/2025

Stonington Gallery is proud to present “Hib Sabin’s Cast of Characters,” a comprehensive retrospective exhibition celebrating the illustrious career of Hib Sabin. This showcase marks the culmination of Sabin’s artistic journey, offering a grand exploration of his captivating body of work. Sabin’s signature animal figures—ravens, owls, hawks, and eagles—serve as powerful spirit guides and stand-ins for the human experience, bridging the physical, psychological, and spiritual realms. Sabin explores profound themes of mythology, shamanism, and the human condition through intricate hand-carved juniper sculptures, ritual objects, and bronze pieces.

This exhibition invites viewers to immerse themselves in Sabin’s unique perspective on the interplay between the physical and spiritual realms. From his early paintings to his evolution into wood carving and bronze sculpting, Hib Sabin’s Cast of Characters showcases the full spectrum of his artistic output. While this retrospective is intended as the capstone to Sabin’s remarkable career, it may not mark the absolute end of his artistic contributions. The future may hold smaller, focused exhibitions, potentially featuring his drawings. However, Cast of Characters is the definitive celebration of Hib Sabin’s enduring legacy in the contemporary art world.

There will also be a FREE RSVP based artist talk with Hib Sabin on Friday, September 5. More info to come.
