ART NOTES: In the Galleries

A vessel by Vicki Grant, on display at Eno Gallery

At the Carrboro Branch Library, “In the Spirit,” photographic images of poignant moments in the life of our community, will open on Jan. 20, with a reception and community gathering on Jan. 22 from 2 to 4:30 p.m. The exhibit features artists Sheldon Becker and David Otto, and continues through March 27.

Up in Hillsborough, at the Eno Gallery, a holiday group exhibition of new works by 28 of the gallery’s fine artists continues through Jan. 22. The exhibit includes paintings, sculpture, hand-blow glass, woodwork, contemporary ceramics and more.

At The ArtsCenter, Revision: Up-Cycled Art and Craft Shop is on display in the East End Gallery, while the Center Gallery is host to the work of Catherine J. Howard. Her work includes a combination of translucent oil panting, technical graphite drawings and embroidery exploring emotional transparency and vulnerability, striving for immediate human connection.

A project by Chapel Hill textile artist Jan-Ru Wan, who was commissioned by the Town of Chapel Hill’s Public and Cultural Arts to lead participants in creating a collective art installation to be permanently displayed at the Seymour Center for seniors, begins with an introductory lecture by Wan, titled “The Journey of Re-materialization.” The lecture will be held at the Seymour Center on Jan. 9 from 10 to 11 a.m., with an encore presentation at 7 p.m. on Jan. 11.

The project, “Up Close and Personal,” will utilize repurposed clothes and other objects to tell stories.
