Upcoming Exhibitions and Events

Join us for the closing reception of Elizabet Cerviño's The Rhythm of Resilience, featuring a site-specific performance by Cerviño and a community collage exhibition inspired by her work.

For Onomatopoeia, Cerviño collaborates with HC Ceramics Instructor Alex Zak and HC ceramics students to create hundreds of square clay tiles, each inscribed with a different letter. Together, the tiles will form a phrase and will be stacked to Cerviño's height using approximately 600 pounds of clay. During the performance, Cerviño will remove the tiles one by one, sound out each letter, and then drop the tile to the floor, where it will shatter. As the letters are spoken and the tiles break apart, language becomes sound, movement and physical matter.

The closing reception will also feature a community collage exhibition created in response to The Rhythm of Resilience by HC Art Galleries members and members of Lance Rothstein's Collage Clique. Displayed on the gallery's exterior wall, the collages offer a range of personal visual responses to Cerviño's exhibition.

Come experience The Rhythm of Resilience one final time and join us for an evening of performance, community and creative response.

In Aspiring Water, collaborative artists Carol Mickett and Robert Stackhouse explore water as a source of beauty, power, movement and possibility. Through paintings and prints depicting oceans, rivers and the human relationship to waterways, the artists consider both the vitality of our aquatic environments and the growing threats they face. From the clear waters and thriving live oaks of Aspiring Gulf: Live Oak to the warning of An Imbalance of Fire, the works invite us to consider what a healthy, balanced relationship with water might look like and what we can aspire to create through environmental stewardship.

Mickett and Stackhouse are a collaborative artist team who live and work in Florida. Stackhouse received an M.A. in Painting from the University of Maryland in 1967, and Mickett earned a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Minnesota in 1988. Together, they have created monumental public sculptures, paintings and prints exhibited throughout the United States and internationally, with work held in major museum collections including the Museum of Modern Art and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
