SUMMARY:Art\, Research\, and Narrative w/ Atinuke Osibogun-Adeleke
DESCRIPTION:Open to the public \n  \nJoin us for an artist lecture led by artist and jeweler\, Atinuke Adeleke. Centered on the convergence of studio practices and conceptual exploration\, Atinuke will share her concepts\, her making process\, and her art’s connection to personal narrative. Half artist bio and half informative methods in research\, this lecture centers on her lived experience as a Nigerian who has traversed three continents and how it feeds into the crafting of her work. \n  \nAtinuke Osibogun-Adeleke is an interdisciplinary artist and a graduate of the University of North Texas. As the owner and lead designer of the home and body adornment brand\, Zuri Perle\, she channels her artistic vision into captivating creations that blend tradition with innovation. \nHer artistic practice revolves around themes of personal history\, connection\, and identity\, reflecting her journey as a Nigerian who has traversed three continents. Atinuke’s work explores the deconstruction\, reassembly\, and hybridization of her identity through sculpture and fiber pieces. These creations seamlessly integrate the traditional culture and practices of her homeland\, Nigeria\, with western woodworking techniques and modern processes such as CAD\, 3D printing\, and CNC routing.

SUMMARY:She Hunts at Night - Solo Exhibition by Lauren Fleniken
DESCRIPTION:She Hunts at Night – Solo Exhibition by Lauren Fleniken \nExhibition Dates: June 16 – 27 \nReception: June 26\, 6p – 8p \nOpen Hours: June 18 12p-5p and by appointment \n  \nExhibition Statement: \nMy work explores the body\, intimacy\, and how the feminine body retains and responds to sexual trauma. In the vast majority of cases\, the perpetrator is known to the victim. I focus on the psychological and sexual trauma done to the feminine when the hunter is someone who was closer\, and the emotional response that muddies the lines between love\, lust\, and violence. I use mythology of the American South and elements of my upbringing combined with a romantic\, lacy exterior to discuss these contradicting feelings. A need for intimacy\, a need to be seen\, and what being taken advantage of does to not only heighten these feelings\, but to cause sex to become a form of self-harm and addiction. The space is transformed with elements of a country side home- a rawhide rug\, a tableside lamp\, a dimly lit TV. Many of these countryside elements utilize all parts of the Buffalo\, once a deer is hunted and harvested. The skin and flesh of a hunted deer is never wasted. Pink tones define a hyperfeminine surreal set stage\, set in between nowhere and now\, with spotlights that show nothing is really unseen in the dark. I rely on self portraiture to convey vulnerability and the battles we have with ourselves\, our identities\, and our bodies. Through my work\, I aim to open conversation on how the perfect victim does not exist\, and how the hypersexualized femme is viewed\, and consequently views herself. \n  \nArtist Bio: \nLauren Fleniken is a multimedia artist living and working in Dallas\, TX. She grew up in Montague\, TX\, and spent childhood back and forth between visual and performing art. She received her BFA in Painting from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth\, and has recently become an alumni from the Cedars Union Cohort 4 in Dallas. She is a 2025 recipient of the Clare Hart Degolyer Memorial Fund. She has shown in various galleries such as Zeke’s Projects\, Zona7\, The Adolphus\, and Arts Fort Worth. Her work has been featured in online publications such as Glasstire and Patron Magazine. Fleniken currently resides as an artist in the Tin District. \n  \nInstagram: @l.m.flen.art

SUMMARY:Unstable Ground: Landscape\, Memory\, and the Shifting Self - Group Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Unstable Ground: Landscape\, Memory\, and the Shifting Self – Group Exhibition \nExhibition Dates: June 16 – 27 \nReception: June 26\, 6p – 8p \nPublic Artist Talk: June 18\, 7:30p – 8:30p \nOpen Hours: by appointment \n  \nExhibition Statement: \nUnstable Ground brings together four Dallas-based artists working through photography\, installation\, and material exploration to consider landscape as an unstable\, layered\, and ever-changing phenomenon. The works point to the landscape as a construct through memory\, perception\, and lived experience. Personal archives\, sculptural works\, and still images serve as ways of holding on to and questioning the landscape. Unstable Ground considers how we come to understand our constantly evolving environment as we ourselves change within it. \n  \nIncluded Artists: \nLauren E. Allen \nJordan Funk \nKim Wasson Eagan \nVahid Valikhani \n  \nCurator Bio: \nVahid Valikhani is a photographer and documentary filmmaker and serves as Director of the Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery at the University of Dallas. \nHis creative practice examines environmental and social conditions across both familiar and unfamiliar landscapes. Through the integration of landscape and portraiture\, he explores how representations of place and people collectively construct meaning\, illuminating the cultural and political forces that shape one another. He is the author of the monograph Nebraska\, Tampa: The Return to the Streets (Tavaali Publication\, 2025). His work has been exhibited internationally in Germany\, Italy\, Iran\, and the United States. \n  \nInstagram: @_vahid_vv\, @kimwassoneagan\, @leallen_art\, @jordan_nicole_funk

Join us\, for an in-person\, in-depth info session. \nDo you have questions about the Cohort Artist program? Maybe you’re having trouble with CaFÉ? Join Manager of Programming\, Taylor Gibson\, virtually for an in-depth info session where he will discuss The Cedars Union\, Cohort program\, and walk through the application process. \nMicro-studios at The Cedars Union provide affordable studio space with accessibility to tools\, programs\, and workshops.

Though “micro\,” The Cedars Union facilities provide additional shared workspace for all members to use. \nHaving a personal studio at The Cedars Union is an experience designated for our incubator\, or Cohort program. Becoming a Cohort artist at The Cedars Union places you in a year-and-a-half program with 14 other peers\, chosen by an outside jury to ensure commitment to artistic practice and diversity in experience\, media\, and background. Applicants request a studio size and upon acceptance enter an 18 month lease commitment. After completing the 18 month “incubation”\, artists move out and a new cohort is selected. Many Cohort artists stay on as Community Members.

SUMMARY:Cohort VI App Info Session (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Open to the public \n  \nDo you have questions about the Cohort Artist program? Maybe you’re having trouble with CaFÉ? Join Manager of Programming\, Taylor Gibson\, virtually for an in-depth info session where he will discuss The Cedars Union\, Cohort program\, and walk through the application process. \n  \nMicro-studios at The Cedars Union provide affordable studio space with accessibility to tools\, programs\, and workshops. Studios are designed without doors and with low walls in order to encourage collaboration\, community\, and visibility. Though “micro\,” The Cedars Union facilities provide additional shared workspace for all members to use. \n  \nHaving a personal studio at The Cedars Union is an experience designated for our incubator\, or Cohort program. Becoming a Cohort artist at The Cedars Union places you in a year-and-a-half program with 14 other peers\, chosen by an outside jury to ensure commitment to artistic practice and diversity in experience\, media\, and background. Applicants request a studio size and upon acceptance enter an 18 month lease commitment. After completing the 18 month “incubation”\, artists move out and a new cohort is selected. Many Cohort artists stay on as Community Members.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Methods in Critique w/ Christopher Najera & Fernando Alvarez
DESCRIPTION:TO BE RESCHEDULED FOR THE FALL! – Open to the public \n  \nJoin us for a lecture co-presented by artists Christopher Najera and Fernando Alvarez. As artists\, we spend a lot of time discussing our opinions and the formal properties of artwork\, but what makes a critique both beneficial and stimulating as a conversation? These two artists will discuss their approach to critique\, tools and formats\, and engage in a live critique of artwork as a demonstration. \n  \nChristopher Najera is an artist based in Fort Worth\, Texas and a current MFA candidate at TCU. Christopher is part of and works with the local mutual aid and immigration justice groups here in DFW. His work deals with the intersectionality of identities\, his Chicanx roots\, queer identity\, and the current cultural zeitgeist. \n  \nOriginally from Tegucigalpa\, Honduras\, Fernando Alvarez moved to North Texas in 2006. His concept-driven work uses his displacement from Honduras to explore broader themes like paranoia\, culture\, and class\, often with a humorous or flippant tone at his own expense. Through an interdisciplinary practice\, Fernando examines the eccentricities of his background to better understand himself and the subcultures he navigates. Fernando is also a co-founder of Easyside\, a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Easyside is an art space in East Fort Worth that provides career resources for artists and addresses food access and equity in the area. Currently\, Fernando is an Assistant Curator of Education at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.

SUMMARY:Monotype w/ Anthony TungNing Huang
DESCRIPTION:Free for CU Members | $30 tickets for public \n  \nJoin us for an afternoon of monotype printing with Anthony TungNing Huang. Using painterly techniques\, this process suspends ink on a sheet of plexiglass\, which may then be transferred to a piece of paper to create multi-layed\, one-of-a-kind prints. This one day course will cover the basics of traditional monotype\, mark making techniques\, color and image layering\, and additive/reductive techiniques in image making. \n  \nAnthony Huang is a Taiwanese American artist. Born in Taipei and raised in Shanghai\, China\, he received his BA in journalism from the East China University of Political Science and Law in 2014. After working as a professional ballroom dancer and theater producer in Shanghai\, he moved to the United States. He first lived in Los Angeles\, California\, and then earned his first MFA in Illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design. In 2024\, he received his second MFA in Studio Art\, focusing on Printmaking\, at the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville. In July 2024\, he moved to Dallas\, TX\, to begin his teaching career as a full-time professor of Printmaking and Drawing at Dallas College.​ \n  \nHuang began printmaking in 2020 and became enamored with the charm of the traditional print processes. The Daoist philosophy influenced his artistic practice – Wu Wei. He’s trying to use the idea of Wu Wei to rethink the relationship between urban space and the natural world and how it can create a spiritual sublimation for urban citizens.
