PENCE GALLERY. Jordan Hayes is a figurative painter whose recent work centers on portraying objects with underlying stories and deeper meanings. Her figures engage with these items in quiet scenes, featuring dramatic lighting, eye-catching hues, and attention to detail, to provoke a greater appreciation for life’s subtleties. Free
PENCE GALLERY. Stephen Giannetti has explored the grid and the circle in various media over his 30-year career. Early in his career, he pioneered a new mode of approaching the modernist grid. For the past 15 years, Giannetti has adapted his method of hand-painting with traditional oil paint to the more contemporary application of acrylic spray paint. 11:30a—5p. Free
THE ARTERY. With a spiritual leaning that bridges Eastern and Western philosophy, each piece in this exhibition contains heart and soul. Art reflects life…a return to decades long practices of meditation, silence and contemplation are reflected in this collection. Between 3D sculptures and framed pieces, it is Louise’s desire that the viewer remember a bit of peace and stillness as they stop into the gallery in the new year.
