Our Story

In 2001, artists Cindi Rhodes and  Denise Weyhrich took their children to a major museum for a cultural experience. The exhibition, although strong, came across as a very one-sided and limited in its' perspective. Cindi and Denise saw a great opportunity to fill in the blanks. That motive became their mission.

The mission went underground for four more years until a ripe opportunity came along for that first museum-worthy exhibition — “Messages of Hope” celebrating the beauty and diversity of different cultures and people — where Cindi and Denise’s formidable years of experience in the art world and academic world combined to shine. Since then, twenty-seven exhibitions have been launched and traveled all over the United States.

For two and one half years starting during Covid, SEEDS provided 16 artists’ fantastic exhibitions at the historic Old Towne Orange Plaza within the Full Circle store. (Providing after school care for at risk children.) Historically SEEDS has provided exhibitions for municipal art centers, commerce, conferences, higher education and in faith communities that often get estranged from impactful art.
