“Astounding Sanctuaries and Sunlit Songs”
David Lionheart Solo Exhibit
May 3 through July 6, 2025
Opening reception: Sat. May 3, 3-7pm
“Astounding Sanctuaries and Sunlit Songs” is a solo exhibit by artist and GRIT’s co-curator David Lionheart. The new exhibit will feature abstract paintings inspired by vibrant florals and new beginnings, accompanied by live musical performances throughout the life of the show.
Lionheart’s new collection honors the positive living connections we make with nature, as well as with those whom we hold close, whether loved ones or newfound friends. Relationships that bring us joy, strength, and purpose are represented through songlike movements, brilliant colors, and a fresh garden of surreal flowers.

“FLOCK”: An Exhibit Featuring Highlights From Artist Steven M. Strauss’s Avian Paintings
The multi-medium artist aims to capture every species of bird on canvas, and this upcoming exhibit showcases his progress and process along the way.
August 2-September 20, 2025 | Opening Reception: August 2 from 3-7pm
GRIT Gallery is proud to present FLOCK, a vibrant and evolving collection of paintings by artist Steven M. Strauss, exploring the entire avian species; a larger feat than he anticipated. What began in 2021 as a spontaneous exploration of avian life has grown into a sweeping visual archive of nearly 300 bird species—each one rendered with Strauss’s signature blend of immediacy, nuance, and reverence for the natural world.
Spanning works from 2021 to 2025, FLOCK captures the artist’s journey from rapid-fire spray paint sketches to large-scale, detail-rich oil paintings on canvas and paper, offering viewers a rare glimpse into the scale and spirit of an ambitious creative pursuit still in flight.
Also on view: The Art of Vindaris
OPENING: June 14, 2025 from 1pm to 5pm
