We have a NEW EXHIBIT to share with you at the Center for the Arts! ✨

Welcome to "Exploring Perspectives," an exhibition that celebrates the culmination of a year-long photographic journey undertaken by the Compass Prep high school photography class.

This exhibition is more than just a display of technical skill; it is a vibrant exploration of each student's unique perspective. Through their lenses, mundane moments are transformed into extraordinary scenes, and silent stories are given a voice.

Our next exhibit in the Edmund D. Lewandowski Classroom Gallery at the Center for the Arts is NOW OPEN! ✨

Welcome to this showcase of art works by children from age 5 – 11 from St. John’s UMC After School Care program.

Katrin Breitkreutz, a local artist, teaches 3 days a week in the After School Care program. “My main goal when working with children is to nurture their joy of creating, their curiosity and love of play that we are all born with.”

She chooses projects that will allow them to use their imagination while learning different techniques and utilizing a variety of media. They learn critical thinking skills, problem solving and social skills.

Our next exhibit in the Dalton Gallery at the Center for the Arts is NOW OPEN!

Signs of Life, curated by Dylan Bannister and Alexis Howard, lifts the veil obscuring appreciation of the commonplace, and highlights the serendipitous beauty of everyday life. This exhibit challenges viewers to consider ordinary things - such as discarded furniture and parking lots - as spectacles, if one’s imagination is open to such an epiphany.

✨Come by and see what’s currently on display at the Center for the Arts! ⬇️

For a few more days, you can enjoy the works by Ian Welch, Brooks Stevens, and WCCS in our Dalton, Perimeter, and Classroom Galleries.

In “The Soft Encroachment” Ian J. Welch navigates the uneasy threshold where the natural world meets human intervention. This exhibit invites viewers to pause and reconsider the cost of even our gentlest footprints.

Brooks Stevens offers a view into interstitial spaces that expose moments of repair and fracture in her textile show, “Fractured Pathways.” In this exhibit, the works offer solitude within the fractures we collectively experience in our daily lives.

WCCS is back this year with their Classroom Gallery exhibition, “Cultivating Visibility.” The works featured focus on bringing into view creative voices, ideas, and perspectives from student-artists.

➡️ All these exhibits are on display from now until SATURDAY, MAY 2, 2026! See you there!
