Thomas Joseph Ross: The Wake Up Call, Opening Reception

Monday, August 24, 2026 | 5.30-9pm

An exhibition of mixed media works by artist, Thomas Joseph Ross, that explores identity and the act of becoming.

If you are on your first step or your hundredth, on a path toward becoming who you always wanted to be, this show is for you.

At some point, you became the version of yourself that was needed.
Reliable. Stable. Accountable.

And somewhere in that process, we each leave things behind. Sometimes by choice. Sometimes not.

The Wake-Up Call is about being a place you start to recognize it and are thinking about or creating change.

This exhibition doesn’t ask politely.
It doesn’t speak plainly.

You will be presented a series of works built through abstraction, narrative, and lived experience. Each piece confronting the quiet agreements we’ve made with ourselves over time.

The barriers that once made sense.
The identities that felt necessary.
The trade-offs we stopped questioning.

Until now.
