This biannual exhibition brings together a dynamic mix of local and regional artists, each exploring the boundaries between two- and three-dimensional work. Expect an engaging interplay of texture, scale, and structure, as traditional techniques meet unexpected materials and contemporary perspectives. The result is a gallery experience that invites you to move, look closer, and see differently with every turn.

This year’s invitational features 10 artists whose practices span a wide sculptural spectrum. Representing Wilson are Kathi Balckmon, Elizabeth Laul Healey, Kim Hennes, Ash Hayford, and Ezra Lambert. Joining them from Raleigh are Caprice McNeill, Tonya Solley Thornton, Tina Marcus, Oami Powers, and Jennifer Siegel of Apex, each bringing distinct voices and approaches into the conversation.

Both the opening reception and exhibition are free and open to the public.
