Because our website calendar doesn't like events that last more than a day and often fails to display them properly, we're going to keep a running list of ART EXHIBITIONS & EVENTS right here with "Artie," the paint-splattered pooch as our mascot. Scroll through to see ongoing displays at our local galleries, followed by special art events we have listed by date.

SoGlo Theatre (1409 Newcastle Street)
On display in The Studio: Memory Atomic: The Art of Forgetting by Rachael Padilla, a playful and nostalgic self-reflection on life. Identity is impacted by a myriad of variables: moments, circumstances, and even the products we consume. Each work is a concept of an experience: forgotten, and then seen again. Experienced and seen anew by the viewer. The simple act of forgetting can make the mundane beautiful.

Glynn Visual Arts - 106 Island Drive
On display through September 4: Holding Space: Glimpses of the Divine, a new exhibition by Randy Siegel, brings together paintings and sculptural works that explore connection, longing, and the unseen threads that bind us. Siegel’s paintings serve as quiet portals—each one an invitation to pause, reflect, and sense the sacred within and around us. His three-dimensional “Bindings,” composed of fabric, rope, wire, thread, and intricate stitching, hold emotional tension and tenderness in equal measure—expressing yearning, love, and compassion through texture and form. A conceptual art installation, Unanswered Prayers, invites visitors to offer expressions of gratitude, praise, or petition, reframing prayer not as a transaction, but as a relationship. Often described as creating “postcards from the psyche,” Siegel draws on Jungian psychology, spirituality, and outsider art to awaken imagination, stir emotion, and deepen connection to self, others, and the Sacred.
Normal Hours of Operation: 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday — Saturday. Admission is free. 912-638-8770 glynnvisualarts.org
