This season, contemporary artist Rachel Hayes brings her bold, vibrant textile installations to Woodlawn & Frank Lloyd Wright’s Pope-Leighey House.

In Wandering Geometry, Gathered Light color takes center stage. Set between two remarkable houses with distinct architectural styles and layered histories, this outdoor exhibition creates an electric conversation between contemporary art, architecture, and landscape. Wander from Woodlawn to Pope-Leighey House, follow the color, and see these familiar places in a whole new light.
