In a medium so often focused on the young and upcoming, Ms. Jenkins is particularly aware of the disappearance of voices from women over 60. Artists Vicky Shick (Budapest/New York) and Merián Soto (Puerto Rico/Philadelphia) will perform their solo work as well as new work developed with local dancers, and share their rich body of artistry and experiences through in-depth classes and workshops for both the professional dancer and those who simply enjoy moving with like-minded curious adults.

The fifteen artists included in this exhibition are the light that hits the uneven surface; their art is the reflection we are viewing. Their artworks offer a reflected alternative to the unnoticed and at times invisible narratives that society fails to acknowledge. DIFFUSED REFLECTIONS is a casting of images and representations; it is a moment of consideration and meditation for local, regional, and national artists to reflect and share their individual perspectives and communal narratives.
