The Boedeker Building

[edit]

The Cedars Union plans to eventually expand into the Boedeker Building, originally an ice cream plant.[2] The Boedeker Building is sometimes used to host events such as Art Conspiracy and SOLUNA. Their May 2018 collaboration with SOLUNA featured interdisciplinary artist and former professional figure skater Jennifer Wester in her piece titled Breaking Shadows. [4] In 2020, Erika Jaeggli's exhibition, Flesh & Bone, garnered the Cedars Union a TACA pop-up grant.[5] The Cedars Union hosted their All-Members Show, Fooling Ourselves, in the Boedeker in 2022. The show consisted of eleven site-specific works by artists: Taylor Cleveland, Laura Davidson, Beronica Gonzales, Gemma Guiomard, Maria Haag, Taylor Hinchliffe, Lisa Horlander, Cat Rigdon, Hannah Rotwein, and Phallon Wright.[6]
