October Exhibition Opening in The Founders Gallery Apocalypse Now, paintings by Bethany Bennett and Straun Wagner. It is often the case that great art challenges the viewer. A reckoning of thought is forced. Such is Apocalypse Now, featuring the work of artists Bethany Bennet and Straun Wagner. 

In our polarized society, emotions and divisions run deeper than ever before. Some are energized by the debate. Others are beset by feelings and woe and gloom. Bennet and Wagner follow the second path.

You won’t come away with a neutral view on this exhibition. Don’t shy away from the challenge.

April Exhibition Opening in The Founders Gallery Transcendental Shoals by David Christian Hettel. Can you find order and structure under the sea? In the realm of darting schools of fish and swaying forests of kelp that might seem far-fetched. David Hettel would beg to differ. Hettel’s exhibition, Transcendental Shoals, skillfully marries the aquatic themes that have long captured his interest with his love of graphic design. The result is an intriguing ordering of the random.

March Exhibition Opening in The Founders Gallery Fish Tales, paintings by Byron Keith Byrd. Inspiration is a funny thing. It often arrives unexpectedly and pushes an artist in directions they may not expect. Byron Byrd frequently finds himself inspired by a sense of place. For most of 2022 he has been painting his trademark abstract impressionist creations in Port Orange. This proximity to the sea and our waterways inspired work that evoked the myths, legends and folklore of the great bodies of water, both ancient and contemporary. Byron paints both large and small, 2D and mixed media. You will also find some unique presentations of his work. Are you ready for the voyage?

He dusted off his plein air easel box, headed outside and threw himself into the creation of a range of landscape paintings.
