"After Hours" is an expression of the ways in which we strip ourselves down after dark and become our rawest selves. Onnissia created these pieces to highlight the intimacy she felt she was missing during quarantine, and to honor the authenticity we allow ourselves to embody when we are alone. It beckons the viewer to consider who we really are, after we've removed our shoes, our belts, our work badges, and the literal and metaphorical masks we wear in public.

After the 27th, viewings will be available by appointment after sunset or on Fridays and Saturdays without an appointment, limited to a capacity of ten. Masks required.

The Smalter Gallery is an art gallery on West 39th Street in Kansas City that is a home for both established and emerging artists.
