If you have not had the chance to see Richard Elaver’s exhibition Structure and Void stop by take a look today! We have enjoyed having Elaver’s work in the Overcash Gallery and sharing the artwork with our Gallery visitors. There are only a few weeks left in the show and they will fly by quickly!
Gallery Hours: Monday-Thursday 10:00-2:00 p.m.
Be sure to stop by and see I Am My Things and My Things Are Me by Allison Tierney. This exhibition closes on March 12. Tierney’s exhibition focuses on maintaining a sustainable art practice. Rather than making art from new materials, she develops ways to reuse and recycle found objects, or art waste from her own studio. “Green Weave” (pictured above) currently hangs in the back room of the Ross Gallery. We would love to share with you the story behind this piece, as well as the rest of Tierney’s work.
Gallery Hours Monday – Thursday 10-2p.m.
Happy Monday everyone! While passing by the Overcash Gallery, you may notice that we have a tinker space set up. For those willing to take up the challenge we invite you all to try building a dodecahedron. Artist Richard Elaver graciously left us with extra pieces of his cardboard laser cut wall piece “Dodec”, in hopes that our students may have the desire to try building one themselves. Quite a few of you have tried it already and succeeded!
Elaver’s exhibition Structure and Void is open through March 12. Stop by today and we will give you a tour of his work!
Gallery Hours Monday-Thursday 10-2 p.m.
Fresh for spring semester we have new exhibits up at several campuses!
Currently at The Bill and Patty Gorelick Gallery Levine Campus, we are honored to showcase the works of Barbara Rizza Mellin. Working with traditional Chinese brush painting techniques and incorporating modern floral and foliage subjects, she creates stunning and vibrant paintings that are such a welcome, uplifting experience this time of year. In addition, she has generously supplied a bounty of her working materials which are also on display, providing us with a deeper look into her process. This is a show that is not to be missed.
The exhibit runs until the end of June at Levine Campus and then opens at the Cato Campus in July.
Join us this Wednesday for an artist lecture featuring one of our currently exhibiting artists, Allison Tierney and her exhibition ‘I Am My Things and My Things Are Me’. The lecture will be held Wednesday, February 5 at 3:30 p.m., Overcash Center, 2nd floor, Tate Hall. Students will learn how Ms. Tierney uses repurposed materials, as well as art waste from her own studio, to craft her designs.
Following the lecture we would like to invite everyone to the opening reception, which will be held in the Overcash Center, 1st floor, Ross Gallery. Our guests will be treated to some light refreshments in the gallery, and a chance to meet Ms. Tierney in person!

Welcome back everyone to Spring Semester 2020! To kick off the new year and the start of the semester, we have two new exhibitions. In the Ross Gallery we are exhibiting I Am My Things and My Things Are Me by Allison Tierney. If you are interested in repurposed objects and found materials as art, then this is the show for you. She incorporates a lot of bright colors and patterns into her art as well.
In the Overcash Gallery we have Structure and Void by Richard Elaver. He is specializing in the 3D printing and laser cut objects for his art. The technological aspect of his work is fascinating plus the geometric shapes are very eye pleasing. There might even be a hands on element to his show. Stop by and find out more!
Both Galleries are located on the first floor of Overcash Center next to the Halton Theater.
The Art Gallery is open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Just a few more days left before the end of our latest exhibition “Blur: A Community Portrait Project” by Melissa Alexander. If you have not seen in it yet hurry on over as the show will close Thursday, December 12. It has been a pleasure walking all of our visitors through the show and answering their questions. We have really enjoyed sharing Blur with all of you, and a special thanks to those of you who took part in the Photography Sessions way back in August. You made this exhibition possible!
Only 12 days left in our Holiday Art Market! If you have not stopped by yet it is not too late. We still have many lovely items just waiting to be purchased. If you do not already know, our entire inventory was made by students, faculty and alumni. Everything is for sale and offered at affordable prices of $50 and under.
Central Piedmont is fortunate to exhibit an eclectic selection of works (both 2D and 3D) from the private collection of Dr. Larry Brady at The Bill and Patty Gorelick Gallery Harris Campus. The exhibit includes many amazing glass pieces, ceramics, paintings, and more, with a huge variety of styles and artists. Mostly contemporary, both figurative and abstract works are represented, so there is something for everyone there.
Also exhibited are the exquisite paintings by artist Jean Cauthen. Full of vibrant colors and lovely explorations in abstraction, ranging from landscapes and cityscapes to a house of cards, these works are not to be missed.
This exceptional exhibit runs ‘til the end of Fall semester, so make sure you get out to the Gallery located in the Harris Conference Center and see it before it’s gone!
