The Ocotillo Performing Arts Center is proud to present Faces and Spaces, a new exhibition by local artist Scott Kiemle.

This collection explores the relationship between portraiture and environment—capturing personality, presence, and the subtle narratives found within both people and place. Through expressive detail and thoughtful composition, Kiemle invites viewers to consider how identity and surroundings shape one another.

The exhibition will be on view March 3 through April 30 during regular gallery hours, Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

Artist Reception:
Thursday, March 12
5:30 PM – 7:00 PM

Join us for a special evening reception where guests will have the opportunity to meet Scott Kiemle, learn more about his creative process, and experience the work in a welcoming, community-centered setting.

Admission is free and open to the public.
