Change is Coming

“Change is Coming” is presented as part of Artists & Makers Studios’ September 2026 gallery program. The page’s detailed description identifies the exhibition as a collection of drawings by Jeffrey Berg, exploring personal and inward change in response to social and political upheaval, emotional difficulty, trauma, unexpected discord, and the crossing of personal and physical borders. The work frames individual narratives against unfolding events, considering how people’s responses to uncertainty and transformation help define them.

Berg’s practice centers on pencil marks and people. Through simple lines, repetition, variation, layering, and erasure, he uses drawing to observe, bear witness, document presence, map memories, and connect inner feelings with external circumstances. The page also separately notes a mini-solo exhibition for Lisa B. Filion in the Lounge Gallery.
