SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening Reception at monca
DESCRIPTION:monca is proud to present two new exhibitions on view from Thursday\, May 7\, 2026 through Sunday\, June 21\, 2026\, Plhis: Poetry Reimagined - AND - Never too Old Never too Young 🖼️Join us for the opening reception celebrating the exhibitions at monca on Friday\, May 8\, 2026 from 6-8PM. Admission to opening receptions is FREE for all and the museum bar will be open for beverage purchases. Learn more about the exhibitions below. \n🌸 Plhis: Poetry ReimaginedA collaborative exhibit between literary artist Pa N. Vue and multimedia artist Maivzeb Lauj. The art pieces critically examine how missionization\, war\, displacement\, and assimilation impacted Hmong language and ways of knowing as well as how Hmong people have reclaimed and can continue to reclaim their language. This project explores how poetic works can "plhis" or "be transformed" from their original textual and aural form and emerge reimagined through multimedia and multimodal visual expressions. "Plhis" evokes the essence of transformation and rebirth\, reflecting how meaning shifts\, evolves\, and finds new life when moving between artistic languages. \n🎨 Never too Old Never too YoungDesigned and curated by the monca Junior Board\, the exhibition titled "Never Too Old...Never Too Young" features art of many mediums created by local students of all ages. The monca Junior Board developed the exhibition concept to reduce the barriers to entry many new artists face in seeking to exhibit their work in museum and gallery spaces. Throughout the entry\, jurying\, and exhibition process\, participants were able to learn about what to expect and prepare when it comes to professionally exhibiting their artwork. The pieces presented in the exhibition showcase the amazing talents of local students and work to imbue the importance of equity for developing artists. \nMore exhibition info: https://monca.org/blogs/exhibitions
