2025 Past Exhibits

Southern Living, Antarctica
William “Will” Halstead
January 30–April 1, 2025
“My recent visit to the southernmost continent led to an unpredictable journey. The Drake Passage was tumultuous upon our embarkation, which caused our captain to steer toward the less often visited Weddell Sea. We successfully touched the Eastern Antarctic Peninsula’s frosty mainland. We hiked dry volcanic islands and cut through slow-moving ice sheets. The silent atmosphere was disturbed by various wildlife, including the iconic Emperor Penguins. Barren hills of sand and rock, and captivating sunsets, were reminiscent of my native home in the American Southwest. Upon return to my Medford, Oregon studio, I contemplated for several weeks how I might best share the expedition.” –William “Will” Halstead
