New exhibit at Center for Faith & the Arts features Barbara Harris Richmond, Stephen Hoke and Luther Sowers
Center for Faith & the Arts of Salisbury will be hosting a new art exhibit, “Déjá vu,” in the Center’s galleries March 12-April 22, featuring works by artists Barbara Harris Richmond, Stephen Hoke and Luther Sowers.
An opening reception will be held Saturday, March 12, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the Center. The public is invited to this free event. There will be refreshments, and the artists will be at the reception to answer questions about the exhibit, which includes paintings and three-dimensional works.
The title “Déjá vu” was chosen because the show is a return for these artists who were some of the prize-winners in last summer’s artist invitational, “Abstraction and Beyond” sponsored by CFA.
The first-place winner from last summer’s show will be featured in a separate exhibit, “Justin R. Christenbery: Breaking Through,” which is being hosted by CFA at Looking Glass Artist Collective, 405 N. Lee St., from April 2-16.
Center for Faith & the Arts is located at 207 W. Harrison St., in the lower level of Haven Lutheran Church.
For more information, call 704-647-0999 or contact faithart@bellsouth.net. More information about Center for Faith & the Arts can be found at www.museandspirit.org
