On view July 29, 2026 – January 2027

Frenzel Gallery

To arrive in a new place is to step into a life shaped as much by possibility as by change. For immigrants and refugees, arrival is not a single moment but a continuous negotiation — between past and present, between identity and belonging, between here and elsewhere.

Between Here and Elsewhere centers the work of six contemporary artists whose practices speak to the experiences of New Americans: Victoria Udondian, Alberto Rey, Leila Khoury, Jordan Wong, Natasha Kravchenko, and Lorena Alvarez. Working across painting, photography, sculpture, ceramics, and installation, each artist draws on their own experience and perspective to explore memory, identity, and belonging.

These are stories rooted in lived experience — specific, honest, and resonant. Erie Art Museum is a place for everyone, and this exhibition reflects that: work that speaks to and from the full diversity of our community, including those who may not always see themselves reflected in traditional art spaces.
