Our Current Exhibit
Artist Reception: Friday, October 18th
5:00 - 6:45 pm
RECEPTION & EXHIBIT ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
The Troy-Hayner Cultural Center is pleased to present A Gardener’s Clarion Call. The exhibit of paintings and drawings by Troy artist Kalleen Smith will be on display October 11th through November 24th. An artist reception is scheduled for Friday, October 18th from 5:00 to 6:45 pm. Attending the reception is a wonderful way to meet the artist and gain insight into her work and process. The reception and exhibit are free and open to the public.
Artist Kalleen Smith has been interested in the natural world for a long time. She is a gardener, an animal lover and an artist. The subject matter in A Gardener’s Clarion Call is primarily inspired by those interests. Her most recent work in oil highlights the plight of our pollinators and what she sees as our place as their stewards or guardians. “To emphasize their importance, I present the bee paintings oversized, some displayed in ‘gilded’, arched frames that suggest bees as icons of devotion,” states Kalleen Smith. Her second avenue of focus in this exhibition are figure drawings done in charcoal or pencil. All were created in The Troy-Hayner Cultural Center's Portrait and Figure Study class, which she has been a part of for several years.
