SUMMARY:Exhibition: Daingerfield & The Tonalist Instinct
DESCRIPTION:Image Credit: Elliot Daingerfield\, Landscape\, undated\, watercolor on paper\, 9 1/4 x 10 3/4 inches; Framed: 19 7/8 x 21 1/4 x 2 inches. On loan from The Johnson Collection\, Spartanburg\, South Carolina \nMay 31 – October 19\, 2025 | Fort Gallery \nDaingerfield & The Tonalist Instinct explores the development of Tonalism\, a distinctly American artistic movement responding to early modernist impulses in painting. Emerging in the latter half of the 19th century\, Tonalism was characterized by subtle color harmonies\, soft atmospheric effects\, and contemplative\, mood-driven scenes. Often emphasizing twilight or dawn landscapes\, tonalist works evoke introspective\, serene\, or even ominous atmospheres\, prioritizing mood and emotional resonance over detailed realism. \nCentral to the exhibition is Elliott Daingerfield (1859–1932)\, one of North Carolina’s most celebrated artists. Daingerfield’s connection to Tonalism is reflected in his expressive interpretations of the Southern landscape\, particularly around Blowing Rock\, where he summered for over four decades. His art is distinguished by poetic subtlety and spiritual undertones—qualities highly valued by tonalist painters. Although Daingerfield resisted a single or dogmatic approach\, Tonalism profoundly shaped his artistic evolution. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Exhibition: The Shape of Color - Understanding Color Theory in BRAHM's Collection
DESCRIPTION:Image Credit: Anne Wall Thomas\, The Way to There\, 2015\, mixed-media on paper\, 26 inches wide x 30 inches high (framed)\, Gift of Mary Wall Garren in honor of Anne Wall Thomas\, BRAHM Permanent Collection 2024.006.001 \nMarch 15 – December 27\, 2025 | Cannon Gallery \nColor is fundamental to human perception\, yet its nature has fascinated and perplexed philosophers\, artists\, and scientists for centuries. Through observation\, experimentation\, and artistic practice\, they have developed theories to define and manipulate color as both a science and a sensation. From Antiquity through the 20th century\, these evolving ideas have shaped how we see and use color in art and design. \nThis exhibition explores key milestones in the history of color theory through seven case studies\, each centered on a single work of art from BRAHM’s Permanent Collection. Alongside these works\, diagrams and historical models illustrate how color has been classified\, studied\, and understood over time. By examining these varied approaches\, The Shape of Color invites us to consider the ways in which color influences our perception\, emotions\, and the visual world around us. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Mary Lou Higgins - Sibylline Faces
DESCRIPTION:Image Credit: MaryLou Higgins\, Remembering\, 1993\, Gesso on canvas\, BRAHM Permanent Collection 2024.007.015\, Photographed by Joshua White \nJune 7 – November 15\, 2025 | Schaefer Gallery \nThis exhibiton presents a selection of ceramic works and drawings by MaryLou Higgins (1926–2012)\, an artist active in North Carolina throughout her prolific career. Best known for her illustrative approach to ceramics\, Higgins worked across multiple media\, creating a body of work defined by intricate draftsmanship and a focus on the female figure. \nA voracious illustrator\, Higgins filled the surfaces of her vessels and forms with an evolving repertory of female faces and figures\, rendered with baroque embellishment and a distinct physicality. Often gilded and highly ornamented\, these works foreground the female visage\, as do the elongated or voluptuous silhouettes of the forms themselves. Her drawing practice extended beyond ceramics into works on paper\, canvas\, and handmade furniture\, where her dense\, gestural approach to line and composition further reveals her interest in stylized figuration. \nHiggins often collaborated with her husband\, Edward Higgins\, who at times constructed the ceramic forms she adorned. The figures that populate her work have been compared to the Sibyls—prophetesses of ancient Greece who were believed to articulate divine revelations in rhythmic verse while in a trance. The exaggerated features and expressive gestures of her figures also recall the stylized bodies of late 16th-century Italian\, or Mannerist\, painting\, suggesting an engagement with historical representations of the feminine form. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Arlee Mains - A Life in Watauga
DESCRIPTION:Image Credit: Arlee Mains\, Wash Day\, 1997\, acrylic on canvas board. Promised Gift\, Collection of Martha & Terry Satterwhite. \nJune 28 – November 29\, 2025 | Rankin East Gallery \nThis intimate installation of ten “memory paintings” by Arlee Mains (1935–2019) offers a vivid and affectionate portrait of early 20th-century life in the mountains of western North Carolina. A lifelong resident of Watauga County and a self-taught artist\, Mains drew upon family stories\, personal recollections\, and regional traditions to create painted scenes of everyday Appalachian life. Her works portray the rhythms of domestic labor\, childhood mischief\, seasonal rituals\, and communal joy—milking cows at dawn\, dancing on a Saturday night\, or greeting the mailman after a deep snow. Each painting is paired with a handwritten narrative by the artist\, capturing her distinctive voice and grounding these images in lived experience. These stories have been transcribed and recorded by a local community member\, and are available to hear at a listening station in the center of the gallery. Mains’ gift was not just in recalling what happened\, but in conjuring the texture of memory: the smell of lye soap\, the bite of cold air before a sled ride\, the warmth of apple pie after church. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Camp Catawba: The Groovy Camp
DESCRIPTION:Join App State’s Dr. Neva J. Specht for an in-depth look at Camp Catawba. This presentation will highlight founder Vera Lachmann’s vision for the camp\, stories about their adventures\, and the importance of the camp to the attendees as they became adults. \nLachmann escaped Nazi Germany to immigrate to the United States. She was a trained classicist\, taught kindergarten in Germany\, and became an academic in the United States. In the summers\, she turned an old chicken farm into a “groovy summer camp” for young boys. \nLess than a mile from the Cone Estate\, the camp sprung up each summer so young boys could learn about Homer’s Odyssey\, hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains\, and discover music and art. Vera and her partner\, Tui St. George Tucker (the camp’s music director)\, ran the camp from 1944 to 1970. \nWebsite
