Between a Love and a Hard Place is Vinegar’s first exhibition in a new collaborative venue, the Media Window , which is both an art gallery and a work of art.

In February 2024, Vinegar stepped away from its indoor gallery space and transitioned to a new phase of site-responsive and publicly accessible exhibitions.

In response to this circumstance, artist and Vinegar curator Melissa Yes created the Media Window (read more here). Between a Love and a Hard Place is the inaugural exhibition at this site.

Our Film 101 series is just like film school without the annoying fear of unemployment. Every month features an important, influential film from a different decade, moving from 1903 in January to 2021 in December. Film screenings include links to additional resources to help historically and culturally contextualize the featured film.
