Spring Awakening is a group exhibition featuring paintings by Mary Lynn Burke, Sydney Croskery, Amanda Mears, and Julia Schwartz—four artists united by an intimate awareness of shifting mood, temperature, light, and energy. Borrowing its title from the provocative 1891 German play by Frank Wedekind, the exhibition embraces spring not as purely uplifting but as a complex moment of reemergence, marked by fragility and endurance. Set against contemporary instability, the works position alertness as a quiet yet powerful form of resistance.
