SUMMARY:Boundaries Reception April 26
DESCRIPTION:Boundaries is set to open at Sunset River Gallery in Calabash\, NC Saturday\, April 26 and will run through Saturday\, May 31. An opening reception is scheduled for April 26 from 2 to 4 p.m. The public is invited to attend at no charge.  A total of 34 pieces of art from artists in North and South Carolina were accepted by juror Lynn Golitz\, an abstract artist from Morehead City\, NC. \nParticipating artists were invited to explore the limits\, edges\, and intersections that define our lives. Where does one thing end and another begin? They examined both personal and physical boundaries\, conceptual and societal boundaries. \nSamantha Spalti\, director for Sunset River Gallery\, said\,” We were looking for work that would inspire conversations on how boundaries are drawn or how they’re erased. It’s about offering a space for reflection and dialogue. I’m excited for gallery visitors to experience this show! Many of the artists (and the juror) will be at the opening reception. I hope people will engage them.” \nImage: From the Boundaries show\,  “What Draws Us Near” by Sharon Hill

SUMMARY:Coffee With the Authors - Bryan Hughes
DESCRIPTION:Bryan Michael Hughes is an author and lifelong vocalist. After having told stories for years on stage\, he found fulfillment in recording written family anecdotes. This led to writing fiction in earnest in 2021. Since then\, he has completed five novels\, a short story collection inspired by his readers\, a coffee table book\, and now his debut children’s book – Chloe the Curious Conch Shell. Bryan’s writing offers delightfully complicated characters and fantastic settings. He highlights themes of self love\, overcoming challenges\, and positive mental health. \nInspired by Bryan’s mother-in-law\, Andrea\, the story for Chloe the Curious Conch Shell was initially a poem written after observing her at the beach. Andrea’s enthusiasm for shell hunting was contagious. Every single one–broken or not–was beautiful to her. Believing this was a story that needed to be shared\, Bryan approached Samantha\, who immediately agreed to illustrate the story. Join us to hear them talk about the book on Thursday\, May 8 from 11 a.m. to 12 noon. Coffee\, tea\, and breakfast treats will be served. This is a free event\, but seating is limited. Contact the gallery to hold your spot. 910.575.5999.

SUMMARY:Diane White - Spotlight Artist
DESCRIPTION:South Carolina painter Diane White is being featured as the gallery’s Spotlight Artist from July 1 through September 1. Proficient at both landscapes and still life works\, she considers herself a painter of contemporary realism. She says\, “I paint exclusively in oil.\, savoring the rich buttery feel of the paint on my brush\, the texture of the canvas\, even the smell of the paint. I am drawn to the still life by the way the light falls on ordinary objets\, illuminating them to draw the viewer into the painting. May of my still life pieces begin long before I set foot in my studio. Through years of combing antique shops and flea markets\, I have collected many interesting pieces that find their way into my paintings. \nDiane has recently been incorporating ordinary objects into her paintings such as take out containers and chopsticks\, nautical items\, and even toys. She has been juried into several national competitions with the Oil Painters of America\, the Salon International\, National Oil and Acrylic Painters’ Society\, and the AmericanWomen Artists National Competition. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to see a selection of her distinctive still life paintings and  landscapes.
