In Pegasus Gallery and The Niche:

February 9 – March 20, 2026

Opening Reception on Thursday, February 12, 4:30-6:30pm at Pegasus Gallery.

The evocative imagery of Nancy L. Greco’s drawings occupy ethereal spaces where dreamlike myths and fleeting memories shape a realm of endless potential. Human and animal forms are prominent themes that appear contained by and yet freely float within surreal, natural and architectural settings. Dynamic juxtapositions and unexpected perspectives untether her representational imagery from traditional contexts and invite the viewer to explore the elusive nature of memory - fragmented, incomplete but undeniably vivid.

Greco’s drawings, prints, and paintings have been exhibited internationally throughout her 50+ year career. She holds an M.F.A., from The Ohio State University (Columbus) and an M.A. and B.A. in Art Education from Southern Connecticut State University.

Hallucinations brings together three new, interrelated series by Lisa Iglesias that frame perception as layered, contingent, and in motion. Composed of acrylic paint on paper, translucent materials, and repeated relief prints of domestic objects, the works unfold through veils, screens, and patterned surfaces that shift as the viewer moves. In 100 cartas a la luna, multiple levels of paint are applied on both sides of each paper through staining, pouring, pooling, and relief printing, often in collaboration with Iglesias’s young children. Privacy screens, halftone fields, and layered applications of paint function as perceptual filters—at times obscuring, at others revealing images, gestures, and bodily impressions. Across the exhibition, weft and warp structures echo textiles, as household materials are translated into digital, cosmic, and architectural forms.

Step back into the vibrant world of the 1920s and 1930s with Jazz Age Illustration, a major exhibition exploring the art of popular illustration during this transformative era. Featuring over 100 works by renowned artists such as Aaron Douglas, John Held Jr., and Frank E. Schoonover, the exhibition delves into the cultural impact of illustration during a time of dramatic social change.

Organized by the Delaware Art Museum, Jazz Age Illustration is the first major exhibition to survey the art of popular illustration in the United States between 1919 and 1942—a vibrant and transformative era of innovation, evolving styles, social change, and expanding popular media.

Mixed media works in ROMANUM by Ron Maggio are inspired by the wall paintings (or frescos) from houses and villas of Rome, Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Boscoreale, dating from the second century B.C. and the first century A.D. The artist works within classical sensibilities of architectural space and color and incorporates the rich color palette employed by Roman fresco painters.
Opening Reception March 6, 5:00-7:00 PM.

Deep within the underworld, a skeleton Dodo and boy dig daily for fresh bones to replace their deteriorating ones, desperately trying to keep from disappearing. But one day, the Dodo miraculously sprouts feathers–and everything changes.

The transformation sends the two friends into a chaotic journey as they flee the wrath of the Skeleton King and fight to stay together as they are drawn into the heart of an epic battle between life and death.

From Wakka Wakka, Dead as a Dodo is an inspirational musical odyssey about true friendship and the will to survive against all odds. Together, the impossible can become the possible.

Kalos is a trio of innovative interpreters and composers of Celtic roots music—Eric McDonald, Ryan McKasson, and Jeremiah McLane. Masters of tradition with a taste for its shadowed edges, Kalos delivers music of striking complexity, spontaneity, and joyful exuberance. Driven by pulsing rhythm and deep artistic integrity, their sound reimagines Celtic, Breton, and American traditions on accordion, guitar, fiddle, and vocals. Long-standing friendships fuel a playful, high-energy stage presence, making live performance the heart of their artistry.

Opening the evening are harpist Rachel Clemente and piper Dan Houghton, leaders of New England’s Celtic folk vanguard. Rooted in Scottish tradition yet boldly avant-garde, the duo blends original compositions with traditional melodies. Clemente is the 2016 U.S. National Scottish Harp Champion and a graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Houghton is an award-winning Scottish piper, flautist, and guitarist who has toured and taught internationally with numerous acclaimed ensembles.
