Exhibitions

Jeff Weinberg | Table Pieces

RECEPTION May 29, 5-9PM

A board and four legs is a table, function and design meant to be used. Add created objects: human, animal, insect, demons of the dark made from gemstones and pearls, marble paste, gold and silver and nails and wire and rocks. The resulting forms speak of the human condition, the joy of dance, the unseen living creatures that inhabit our lives, and the beauty of stones under our feet. Each work, when placed on a table, can stimulate thought and conversation, yet each remains animate in the dark as we dream.

2019/2020 PRINTMAKING ARTIST IN RESIDENCE

Dayon Royster | phaschunəble nahn-cents: akt II

INSIGHT Art Talk: June 1, 7PM

RECEPTION May 29, 5-9PM

This exhibit is a continuation of Dayon Royster’s pfashən-uhble naan-sints series where he uses phonetics to playfully focuses on an array of topics such as accessibility, bias, context, information, research, rules and truth. This second installment will touch on those same themes but will explore new themes such as moral superiority, the culpability of society at large, and the pros and cons of individuality.

Michael McCaffery | Family Album

INSIGHT Art Talk: May 27, 7PM

RECEPTION May 29, 5-9PM

Several years ago, he returned home to the house where he grew up. Since that time, he has been creating paintings, drawings and photographs of his 81-year-old father. Recehntly, Michael noticed a shift in his work. He’s become fascinated with the Family Albums that his mother kept while she was alive. In an attempt to connect with a past he often felt left out of, he worked to re-record and study these memories the best way he know how; with paint. Digging through the remains of these albums has informed a painting process that oscillates between accurate visual representation and invented abstract forms. Shapes come together, forms materialize….then fall apart. As this process unfolds he desires to create a layered accumulation of paint and memories, a woven tapestry that captures a deeper and holistic view of his past and present.

Ashlyn Pope | A Portentous Haul

INSIGHT Art Talk: July 9, 7PM

RECEPTION June 26, 5-9PM

Dive into cultural identity in this exhibition of thrown and handbuilt ceramic vessels. Inspired by the treatment of black bodies and women throughout history, Ashlyn narrates what it is to carry the weight of history while also emitting pride in oneself and ancestral identity. The Lawrence Arts Center Gallery will be filled with works inspired by various ceramic storage vessels blended with elements of sweetgrass baskets, an art tradition of her Gullah ancestry.

Divine Juried Exhibition June 19 - July 25

RECEPTION June 26, 5-9PM

A juried group exhibition, Divine, is comprised of artworks submitted from artists throughout the United States. The exhibition will be held in conjunction with the 2020 Free State Festival.
