Shows @ Muse
A regularly rotating display of members' work
Busy
November 2025
We are all so busy juggling responsibilities, deadlines and the constant pull of everyday tasks, leaving us barely any time for our own creative moments. We love being in the studio more than anything, yet with so much to manage and so many directions pulling us, our own personal projects are often pushed aside.
The pace of modern life can leave us all exhausted, overwhelmed and worn down. Our show here highlights the many ways we experience “busy” - Whether we are occupied with tasks, overloaded with schedules, mentally preoccupied, or socially in demand-
revealing how easily life can become cluttered and chaotic.
In bringing this work together, we hope to create a space where pause, reflection and creativity can rise above the noise, reminding us the value of slowing down
and making time for what truly matters.
On Food
January 2025
Sustenance, nourishment, provisions, comestibles, fare, grub, chow.
While we can use many words for “food”, it’s uniquely universal. Whether preparing, serving or enjoying it, we all need need, love, and have our own associations with food.
​
From celebrations of its visual quality through still-life paintings to more conceptual takes, Muse members here present through their work what “food” evokes for them.
Tranquility
October-December 2024
Tranquility has a different meaning for all of us. To some, it would be stillness or quiet; a peaceful walk through the woods or contemplating the beauty of nature. To others it can be comfort and calm in the company of friends.
In these turbulent times, an age of constant busyness and efficiency, finding space to connect with our personal tranquility can be challenging. For this display, Muse artists were asked to represent their ideas of calm, or present different aspects of stillness. Moments when we are at peace, as well as forces that can encroach upon it, are all represented.
It’s uniquely fitting as Muse represents an island of tranquility for many of the members and guests who set aside time to give themselves a chance to find calm amidst the chaos.
