Kelly Bodie: From Nature to Abstraction Page-Walker Arts & History Center Wednesday, September 27—Thursday, November 9 Artist Reception: Friday, September 29 | 6–8 p.m. Medium: Screen Prints This collection of screen prints begins in natural forms and scenes and ends with abstraction. Bodie's animal portraits feature rough, energetic lines that bring the form forward and create texture. In other pieces, as she explores texture in a leading role, nature begins to give way. Finally, nature collapses entirely.

Under the Influence: Cary Arts Center Instructors Cary Arts Center Principal's Hall Wednesday, September 20—Sunday, October 22 Artist Reception: Friday, September 29 | 6–8 p.m. Medium: Mixed Media Events of the 1950s-1960s bring back mixed memories: soda shops, Doo-Wop, pop art, and the British invasion phenomenon represented a simple, prosperous time. By contrast, undercurrents from political, military, and racial tensions gave rise to a more avant-garde culture. The exhibition portrays ways the arts continue to capture the essence of this time.
