ABOUT YOU WEST COAST TOUR ‘26
Most shows are in-the-round, with a local DJ spinning vinyl and a locally loved band opening. A few will have two local bands on the bill. Every night is a party first, and a celebration of the city we’re in.
Every show is RSVP-only, no ticketing fees, so the money goes straight to the artists. We’re capping each one at 200-250 people.

HALLIE MAXWELL::: SOLO EXHIBITION
OPENS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7 at 6PM

Hallie Maxwell’s solo exhibition, “Foxes In The Atomic Cafe,” opens TONIGHT Wed, Oct 7th from 6-8pm. Please join us!

Hallie Maxwell is our most recent J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Family Foundation Visiting Artist at The Common Well. Her residency was made possible through the foundation’s generous gift which allowed her to work freely over several months in a dedicated studio at The Common Well experimenting, exploring and creating new installations, drawings and sculptures.

Hallie Maxwell is a Japanese American interdisciplinary artist based in Idaho. She works with installation, audio, video, drawing, and performance. Maxwell is a descendant of survivors of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. In this new body of work, Foxes In The Atomic Cafe, she has exquisitely manipulated found and ready-made materials, such as traditional Japanese papers, string, inks and toys, as a way to tell both her family’s specific story as well as the world’s forever story of war, migration and displacement.

“Foxes In The Atomic Cafe,” opens with a public reception from 6-8pm on Oct 7, 2026 and will remain open 10am-5pm, Mon-Fri, and by appt, through Nov 20, 2026. On Wed, Oct 28 at 6pm, there will be a public conversation in the gallery between the artist and public television producer/host Marcia Franklin.

These events are free and everyone is welcome. Hope to see you!

CLOSING SOON!

This week is your last chance to see the SHOW & TELL group exhibition at The Common Well. This incredible show includes selected works by the fourth wave of artists in our Residency Program with Alexa Rose Foundation — Sean Ahern, Brecken Bird, Jessica Evett, Laura Feeney, Emily Hales, Brie Schettle, Hunter Simmons and Matthew Thorley. Gallery is open 10AM-5PM, Mon-Fri.

Our Show & Tell Artist Residency Program with the Alexa Rose Foundation launched nearly three years ago and since then we have graduated 47 local artists into the world with sharpened tools, a strong cohort of fellow artists, and a renewed sense of their lives as professional artists. In addition to a generous honorarium, this transformative new opportunity provides artists with a six-month studio workspace, mentorship, a culminating group exhibition, the opportunity to give a public artist talk at The Common Well, and an inspiring field trip. (This time it was to Los Angeles!) This innovative program is especially geared toward artists eager to set loose their creative energy and realize their big ideas all within a vibrant community setting. We couldn’t be more thrilled and honored to be working with Alexa Rose Foundation. Together we are creating lasting, positive outcomes for our most exciting local artists.
