SUMMARY:Surface Tension: Erika Diamond and Chelsea Lillo
DESCRIPTION:Surface Tension brings together two makers whose creative paths emerge from distinct disciplines. Erika Diamond\, a textile-based artist\, and Chelsea Lillo\, a board-certified anaplastologist\, both use handwork—sewing\, weaving\, sculpting\, and precision—to explore protection\, identity\, and the fragility of the human body.

SUMMARY:Art from Inside the Athens-Clarke County Jail
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is a selection of artwork made over the past year in Creative Tracks\, a new studio art program for residents of the ACC jail. Originally initiated by the Lyndon House Arts Center as a stand-alone class\, this program is now integrated within the Reentry Quality Support Program administered by the Sherriff’s Office\, with the mission to provide jail residents with the resources\, education\, and training needed to successfully transition back into the broader community. \nTaught by artist\, educator\, and business-owner Kristen Bach\, Creative Tracks is designed to enhance the well-being and rehabilitation of the students by providing a therapeutic outlet for self-expression and emotional release. Class projects include observational botanical drawings\, zine-making\, exploration of aqueous media\, large collaborative drawings\, and model-making\, all with a focus on self-reflection and developing patience\, perseverance\, and constructive communication. \nThe Creative Tracks students come from a wide range of backgrounds\, and while most have little formal art-making experience\, they bring boundless creativity and a deep engagement with the materials. Through openness to listening\, learning\, and sharing their personal stories\, the students are forging new creative pathways for themselves.

SUMMARY:Pendulum: Jean Gray Mohs
DESCRIPTION:Rooted in the American South\, Mohs’ work explores the tension between resilience and vulnerability\, shaped by a life of chronic illness and an organ transplant. As an artist and mother\, she moves between the physicality of materials and the fragility of the body\, reflecting on survival\, care\, and kinship. She is drawn to the landscape and traditions of the South\, where storytelling and craft carry histories of both struggle and grace. \nMohs’ practice investigates the body as both structure and shelter\, likened to architecture and foundation\, where puzzled pieces are sewn\, bound\, and mended together. She minimizes and abstracts body parts\, distilling them to their bare essentials to reveal the intricate mechanisms and symbiotic connections between skeleton and skin\, spirit and flesh\, organs and cavities. The interplay of structural forms and narrative inquiry manifests in organically shaped wooden objects that hold memory\, honor the body\, and invite connection. \nOpening reception Thursday\, June 5\, 2025 from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. \nPhoto Credit: Matt Ramey

SUMMARY:Thaw Line: Lindsey Kennedy & Josh Skinner
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception Thursday\, June 5\, 2025 from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. \nA discussion with the artists will be held on Thursday\, July 31\, 2025 at 5:30 PM. \nThe photography exhibition Thaw Line centers the natural world—both in its intimate details and expansive landscapes—and humanity’s shifting relationship with it. In Josh Skinner’s black-and-white images\, the human presence is always felt\, even when physically absent: an empty deer stand\, an abandoned construction site\, ghostly trailers nestled in the woods. These are quiet traces of how we’ve imprinted ourselves onto the land. And yet\, while we may play upon the earth and one day be buried beneath it\, the images ask whether we are ever truly of it. \nLindsey Kennedy’s photographs\, rendered in a subtly muted yet richly textured palette\, capture the elemental power of nature—blazing fire\, crystalline waterfalls frozen mid-cascade\, the relentless spread of invasive plant life. Her work quietly reflects on the delicate balance between destruction and beauty. It’s unclear whether we’ll be overtaken by nature’s grandeur\, absorbed into its quiet splendor\, or remain the catalyst of its unraveling. \nJosh Skinner is an artist and photographer born in Duluth and raised in Northern Minnesota. He moved to the South over 20 years ago to explore the Southern culture that was largely unfamiliar to him. Much of Josh’s life has been shaped by the forests of Minnesota\, a life of play and work\, movies\, art\, and the quiet streets of small-town life. Largely self-taught\, Josh honed his photographic craft by observing and learning from the work of others\, including his father and wife. He loves a late bloomer and a slow mover. Josh currently lives in Athens\, Georgia with his wife Kristen Bach\, daughter Maypop Wren\, and their Great big pup Pearl. \nLindsey Kennedy is a photographer whose practice considers the human-nature relationship in the Anthropocene and the psychological experience of climate doom. She holds a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Wisconsin and earned her MFA in studio art at the University of Georgia in 2024. Her photographs have appeared in The Los Angeles Times\, The Wall Street Journal and Rolling Stone. She is the recipient of the 2020 Innovate Grant\, the 2022 Willson Center Graduate Research Award\, and was a finalist in the 2024 Film Photo Award.

SUMMARY:Water Meadows: Yanira Vissepó
DESCRIPTION:Yanira Vissepó’s textile paintings are centered around gradient linocuts of native plants and the natural terrain of both her birthplace in the Caribbean Sea and her adopted home in the American South. She uses methods such as stain painting\, linoleum cut-outs\, and hand embroidery on canvas to portray the rich biodiversity and resilience of botanicals endemic to both Puerto Rico and Tennessee. Through these techniques\, she examined the connectivity of plants across these regions\, merging flora native to both lands while researching their holistic properties. In doing so\, she weaves her own healing process into the diasporic experience. \nAn opening reception will be held on Thursday\, June 5\, 2025\, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM.  \nJoin Vissepó on Saturday\, June 7\, 2025\, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and learn how to make your own indigo-dyed shibori fabrics. Each participant will leave with two hand-dyed bandanas. All supplies are provided. Advance registration for $20 is required.

SUMMARY:Forging Connections: Barbara Mann
DESCRIPTION:An opening reception will be held on June 5\, 2025 from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. \nBarbara will be giving a talk and demonstration of her process on Thursday\, June 26 at 5:30 PM. \nBarbara Mann is captivated by the intricate complexity and beauty of the natural world. Her ongoing body of work delves into the origins of life on Earth\, the process of evolution\, and the carbon cycle. As a jeweler and metalsmith\, she has a deep fascination with materials and the methods used to transform them. Inspired by groundbreaking scientific discoveries and emerging technologies\, Mann is driven by the evolving ways we understand and perceive life on Earth. To bring order to the complexity and chaos of nature\, she crafts objects that serve as distilled\, metaphorical expressions of both observation and thought. \nCarbon\, a fundamental element for all life on Earth\, moves between various reservoirs through the carbon cycle\, with the ocean playing a critical role in this process. A healthy marine ecosystem is essential for sustaining life on Earth. \nThis exhibition showcases a collection of jewelry and metal objects created as part of a grant project funded by the UGA Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant’s Artist\, Writers\, and Scholars program\, in collaboration with NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). The project draws inspiration from research conducted at the UGA Skidaway Institute of Oceanography\, the Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant’s Shellfish Research Lab\, and the Phytoplankton Monitoring Lab. \nThe intention behind these objects is to raise awareness and appreciation for this extraordinary natural process that sustains life. The goal is to present a hopeful and positive vision\, one that emphasizes the ocean’s potential as a solution to climate change. By creating beautifully crafted pieces that highlight specific aspects of the ocean\, the aim is to engage the viewer in a way that fosters intimacy and a deeper connection to the subject. This focus can inspire curiosity\, spark further exploration\, and promote the protection of the marine ecosystem. \nAcknowledgment Statement: This project is supported by an institutional grant (NA18OAR4170084) to the Georgia Sea Grant College Program from the National Sea Grant Office under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\, U.S. Department of Commerce. \nDisclaimer Statement: All views\, opinions\, findings\, conclusions\, and recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Georgia Sea Grant College Program or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. \nBarbara Mann has 50 years of experience as a metal and jewelry artist and educator. She holds a BFA and MFA from the University of Georgia where she taught for many years in the Lamar Dodd School of Art and with the Continuing Education Program. She has taught in Italy\, Costa Rica\, and at many schools\, arts centers\, and museums. She has an extensive exhibition record and is in several museum collections\, exhibition catalogs\, contemporary jewelry and metalwork books\, and art magazines. As a studio artist\, she has created artwork for a wide range of clients such as universities\, state governments\, airlines\, the Olympics\, banks\, civic organizations\, and private collectors.

SUMMARY:Controlled Burn: Tom Schramm
DESCRIPTION:The work in Schramm’s exhibition primarily uses post-consumer materials in place of raw new materials. He sees these used materials as having come to the end of their human-intended functional path. As they cross his path\, and before entombment in a landfill\, he collects them. This strategy demands innovation and planning due to scarcity. Schramm commits to using only the amount of a certain material that has serendipitously come into his life. This practice has fostered a long interest and investigation into a material’s history and various lives\, most recently leading to a focus on how we\, as a society\, consume and what we waste\, investigating the industrial processes that reshape natural resources into modern consumables\, as well as the general perception of these consumables as carrying little to no cost. \nTom Schram obtained his BFA in Painting from UNC Asheville and MFA in Sculpture from Clemson University. Schram has worked as a professional fabricator on projects such as the High Line in New York City and the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture in Dhahran\, Saudi Arabia. Recent exhibitions include The Bascom Center for Visual Arts (Highlands\, NC)\, Echo Contemporary (Atlanta)\, Del Mar College (Texas) and Eastern Mennonite University (Virginia). He has taught studio art at the University of North Carolina at Asheville and the University of Georgia and is currently an Assistant Professor of Sculpture at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee\, NC. He lives in Asheville\, North Carolina. \nAn opening reception will be held on Thursday\, June 5\, 2025\, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for Twist: paintings by Carol John
DESCRIPTION:January 16\, 2025 – March 15\, 2025 \nReception\, January 16\, 2025\, 5:30pm-7:30pm \nCarol John’s paintings\, whether diminutive or grand in scale\, are all predicated on repeating marks and shapes. Dots\, lines\, and squares all multiply to create vibrating forms and surfaces that resonate with playful pop color. The repetitive forms are an echo of John’s studio practice\, a disciplined daily routine spanning decades that has resulted in hundreds of paintings. Each piece remains a candidate for re-working as long as she has access to it\, evidence of an unyielding drive to explore pattern\, color\, and composition. Join us for a studio visit with Carol John on Saturday\, February 22\, 2025 at her studio!
