SUMMARY:Opening Reception for "Organics\," featuring the artwork of Beverly Calhoun
DESCRIPTION:The Little Market\, Hillsborough’s satellite gallery curated by members of the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts\, is pleased to present Organics\, a new exhibition of mixed media work by Beverly Calhoun. \nIn Organics\, Calhoun embraces process as a form of discovery\, allowing each piece to unfold intuitively rather than following a set plan. “Often there is no real outcome in mind\,” the artist explains. “Sometimes a story develops along the way to guide me; sometimes it comes later.” \nDrawing inspiration from the natural environment\, Calhoun builds layers of organic shapes\, patterns\, textures\, and color\, creating compositions that feel both spontaneous and deeply connected to the living world. Through a mix of materials such as acrylics\, inks\, charcoal\, and collage papers\, the work captures the beauty of experimentation itself: the sense of exploration\, play\, and openness that keeps the creative process alive. \nThe Little Market is a collaboration between the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts and the Hillsborough Real Estate Group\, providing exhibit space for local and emerging artists and handmade giftable items by NC crafters. Admission is free and all works are available for purchase. \nThe Little Market is located at 118 N. Churton Street within Hillsborough Real Estate Group\, and is open Fridays 2-6pm\, Saturdays 12–4pm\, and Last Fridays 6-9pm. Organics will be on view through January 18th\, 2025.
