SUMMARY:Opening Reception: In The Eyes by Taylor Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Sourced from her grandmothers’ photo archives and the archive of Film & Television media\, Taylor Thomas questions the influence of external representational systems on the Black family. In her paintings\, Thomas paints the skin of her subjects with chrome paint\, a nod to television static and the ambiguous nature of knowing an “other”. Thomas’ collages explore the relationship between skin and body and interiority and exteriority as she abstracts the faces of members of Black Hollywood along with members of her own family into pixelated squares.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Poetics of the Mundane
DESCRIPTION:Archway Gallery presents Poetics of the Mundane\, featuring new paintings and collages by Silvia PintoSouza and ceramic works and sculptures by guest artist Jeff Forster\, on view May 2–June 4\, 2026. Join the opening reception Saturday\, May 2\, from 5 to 8 p.m.\, with artist talk at 6:30 p.m. \nArchway Gallery artist\, Silvia PintoSouza\, and Department Head of Ceramics at The Glassell School of Art\, Jeff Forster\, are focusing their dual exhibit on the transitory nature of life and the scenes and objects that fire their imagination\, capturing both a sense of permanence and transition through their artistic media. \nThis compelling dual exhibition explores the fleeting nature of everyday life\, transforming ordinary objects and overlooked materials into works that balance permanence and change. PintoSouza elevates familiar subjects through layered\, translucent acrylics\, simplifying form and color to create luminous\, abstract compositions rich with depth and nuance. Working in intimate formats\, she brings precision and quiet intensity to each piece. \nForster reimagines discarded materials—drawing from agricultural and industrial remnants—to create sculptural forms that highlight texture\, process\, and reinvention. His environmentally conscious approach reveals beauty in what is often ignored\, offering a powerful reflection on memory\, transformation\, and the poetry found in the everyday.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Seeing Double
DESCRIPTION:Join the Georgetown Art Center in welcoming artists Denise Elliott Jones and Debbie Carroll for an in-depth discussion about their Seeing Double exhibit. This is a free event taking place during normal business hours and is open to all ages. \n“Seeing Double—Two Views of Texas\, presents a unique vision of Texas by Debbie Carroll and Denise Elliott Jones. Works will focus on the seven regions of Texas: Big Bend\, Gulf Coast\, Hill Country\, Panhandle\, Piney Woods\, Prairies and Lakes\, and South Texas Plains. Each artist will use her unique style to capture the feel and spirit of each region. Basing their work on the same locations\, their different viewpoints and styles will express two different visions of the same region. Taken together\, the whole exhibition will bring the viewer a deeper picture of what Texas has to offer.”

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Turning From a Fixed Direction by Lita Kenyon
DESCRIPTION:Lita Kenyon’s work explores abstraction’s ability to evoke balance and tension without relying on narrative. Kenyon avoids specific references\, allowing meaning to emerge organically as images blend and shift within fields of color and gestural marks. Inspiration comes from nonobjective forms as they emerge in the composition. Kenyon’s process is guided by intuition-driven methods\, where each piece begins with a gesture and evolves through scraping\, repainting\, and layering.
