02/10/2021 11:01 PMAs the challenges of the past year have exacted an enormous toll, artistic practice and pursuit have proven a balm for many. Guilford Art Center (GAC) plans a multi-media exhibit of faculty work, called Keeping On, from Friday, Feb. 12 through Saturday, March 27.
This exhibition shares how GAC instructors have engaged with their art to help them “keep on” during this time of the pandemic, or even how they have struggled, or changed creatively. Featured works include ceramics, painting, drawing, fiber art, metals, and sculpture by members of GAC’s 50-person faculty.
“We are so excited to re-open our gallery doors this year,” says GAC Executive Director Maureen Belden. “We had to cancel our exhibitions in 2020 due to pandemic restrictions, so it is encouraging to welcome the public back to the gallery with safety procedures in place. It’s so important that we can appreciate art in all its forms, especially the experience of seeing it in person. We are energized to launch this faculty show and plan to host more exhibits throughout the year for the entire community to enjoy.”
The GAC gallery is open Wednesday through Friday from noon to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The gallery is free and open to the community. Mask wearing and social distancing is required upon entry.
