“Mystery, Perhaps”
Is It Any Wonder

Six artists. Six tiny galleries. One quiet question: what is hiding in plain sight?

Opening during Garden State Art Weekend, “Mystery, Perhaps” invites viewers to lean in and consider the subtle astonishments woven into daily life. The subtitle, “Is It Any Wonder,” nods to that flicker of surprise — the moment when something ordinary shifts and reveals itself as quietly extraordinary. Each artist explores secrecy, revelation, and the charged space between what is seen and what is felt.

An opening will be held Saturday, April 18, from 5–8pm at The MC Hotel. This is an opportunity to see the entire exhibition in one location before the galleries are installed at their respective sites.

On Sunday, April 19, the exhibition unfolds across Montclair and Glen Ridge, inviting visitors to wander, look closely, and rediscover the neighborhoods they thought they knew.

Jodi Fink installs a series of mixed media works in which the remnants of our lives are gathered, reworked, and made luminous again.

Tiny Gallery x Van Vleck House & Gardens:

Tiny Gallery x 112 Forest Street:
