side by side: Artwork Booklet 2025

Curated by Claire Dobbie and Amitis Tavakolli
Year: 2025

“This year, Union Gallery celebrates its 30th birthday! Since the gallery opened in October 1994, it has worked hard to provide emerging artists with a space to showcase their work. Our annual fundraiser show, side by side, is dedicated to doing just that, all the while allowing us to continue hosting community events, artist residencies and more in the coming future.

The exhibition features nearly 100 unique works made by over 30 artists! The curatorial process of creating side by side was a lot like piecing together a big puzzle: works of all shapes, sizes and styles come together to form one eclectic yet cohesive exhibition. This show is truly an ode to the love our community shares for the space Union Gallery has cultivated and continues to foster 30 years later. Happy Birthday, Union!”
