Ceej Maples: Good Luck with That - Opening Reception

An exhibition partnership with Art Enables

This exhibition runs Jun. 15-Aug. 1, 2026, with an opening reception on Sat., Jun. 20 and an artist & curator talk on Sat., Jul. 18.

Art Enables proudly presents Ceej Maples: Good Luck With That, the artist’s first solo exhibition. Through his illustrative realism and ink mastery, Maples brings his internal struggles and triumphs to life, weaving humor, pain, and irony into every work. His art serves as both self-expression and therapy, helping him cope with physical and mental challenges. In Good Luck With That, Maples explores life’s lighthearted and darker aspects, confronting hardships with wit and imagination. The title piece, which is both earnest and sarcastic, encapsulates this sentiment: life is difficult, but facing it with humor and creativity can make the journey more bearable.

Through collage, sculpture, installation, and digital media, these artists transform adversity into light, affirming that queerness is a driving force for cultural progress, innovation, and healing. Radiant Resistance is a celebration of thriving, existing, and creating unapologetically.
