Little Joys is an assemblage of 365 objects collected over the course of a year, each representing a small, everyday moment that carries a deeper personal story. Beginning on December 31, 2024, Dumas committed to collecting one “little joy” each day throughout 2025 — transforming seemingly ordinary, discardable items into a growing archive of memory, reflection, and meaning.

PROCREATE Vol. 02 at Petshop Gallery features collaborative artwork created by local artists and their children, celebrating creativity, family, and imagination during Benson First Friday.

May is here, and Benson is waking all the way up. Join us for a First Friday filled with art, music, community, and the bright return of BFF’s summer season.

Celebrate May Day with a night of creativity across the district as we welcome back our summer artist markets, kick off the Summer of Petfest, and step into a new season of gathering, making, and exploring together. 🌸

Alayna Kustka’s (Self)Portrait explores identity, likeness, and difference through a series of photographs featuring the artist and her twin sister. Developed as part of her final portfolio work at Metropolitan Community College, the project reflects on sameness and individuality through portraiture, surreal composition, and digital manipulation.

Petshop Gallery presents underbelly, a new body of ceramic work by Amelia Rosenberg. Her practice explores storytelling, lineage, and the natural world through detailed sculptural forms.

Featuring more than 40 paintings installed throughout the gallery’s main floor and lower level, the exhibition explores emotion and spiritual reflection through geometric abstraction, color, and pattern.
