Self-Expression has no boundaries. Tim Kerr, Lisa Alley, and Jamie Morrison are not to be categorized; they refuse to confine to just one choice, medium, and art form. Their group show ‘But wait, there’s more’ at Bolm Arts unpacks music and the visual arts from their separate boxes. Like Sun Ra, "Not of your world." The end goal is creativity, expression, and giving voice, guaranteeing a wild and colorful group show in which lines get blurred between all categories of creation.

Kerr, Alley, and Morrison are known for their creativity in music, performance, and songwriting in their myriad of bands spanning a multitude of genres (Kerr - Big Boys, Poison 13, Monkey Wrench, Up Around the Sun), (Alley - The Well, Mugger, TVs Daniel), (Morrison - Pale Angels, Dog Heaven, Motorbike), but the needle doesn't stop there.

A message from the artists, "Self Expression flows frome well found deep in all of us. It is a performance, a song, a poem, a photo, a piece of clothing, a quilt, a rug, a sculpture, a teapot, or a painting. There is no limit. To some, like us, we do it and need it to live, just like breathing the air we breathe. Come celebrate with us, and maybe, if you have not already, find a glass to drink from your very own well."

Join Bolm Arts for Felipe Gomez’s first solo exhibition—Staying Alive. An exploration of wood, oil and acrylic paint. This body of work explores the depth and multiple facets of individuals as divine—through layers, and hue. Works that celebrate the powerful and resilient spirit of the latino, indigenous and Afro-latino Communities in the modern world.

Felipe Gomez is a versatile artist with a passion for creating beautiful and thought-provoking works of art. Drawing inspiration from nature and technology, Felipe's art is characterized by its vivid hue transitions, intricate details, and fantastical imagery. His art explores the intersection of the natural world and the human experience, incorporating themes of surrealism, realism, and geometric lines to create works that are both visually striking and conceptually engaging.

This exhibition will include works that layer ⅛” slabs of wood with intricate patterns as well as incorporating oil and acrylic painting. Felipe creates imaginative and detailed works, in many mediums and disciplines, that are both aesthetically pleasing and thought provoking. He is committed to promoting healing for the world and the human soul, using his art to raise awareness about issues of oppression, highlight inner beauty and authenticity, and promote environmental consciousness.

Join Bolm Arts for a farewell exhibit of paintings in varied media by Philip Harrell before he moves north.

Philip Harrell is a painter, programmer, and producer currently living in Austin, TX. He received his BFA from The University of Texas at Austin in 2011.

A combination of works by nine artists, 'Circle of Doors' brings a close-up and zoomed-out view into the fantasy and the macabre of the artist's mind.

We’re starting the year off strong with an exhibition of works by Arielle Austin & Bolm Arts member Kel Brown!

Here’s an excerpt from their write up;

“ their experiences as visual artists have become more like the forceful liberation of one’s true spiritual and creative self - coming out to play through their chosen mediums”

The work is truly powerful and we can’t wait to share it with the broader community. There will be a dj as well, so the vibe will be on point.
