UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS
Guttenberg Arts is pleased to present West Coastal: Memories From the Other Side, a solo exhibition by artist Megan Carli. The exhibition will be on view from Saturday, January 17 through Saturday, February 14, 2026. Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, January 17, from 7 PM to 9 PM. RSVP at guttenbergarts.org.
West Coastal: Memories From the Other Side immerses viewers in a multisensory environment that reimagines the artist’s most formative experiences along the West Coast. Through the use of ceramic objects and site-specific materials, Megan Carli examines how memory is tied to physical sensation, and how materials can act as conduits for memory recall at both personal and physiological levels
Grounded in a deep ceramic practice, Carli creates functional works using clay and other materials sourced directly from landscapes that hold emotional significance. These works become vessels for memory, acting not only as physical objects but as mnemonic tools that reconnect the artist to her origins. By invoking place-based memory, Carli explores the layered relationships between materiality, identity, and embodied experience.
West Coastal is a meditation on the connection between self and site that invites viewers to reflect on the power of the senses, the permanence of place, and the fleeting, fragmented nature of memory.
