SUMMARY:Unfurling
DESCRIPTION:The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts presents “Unfurling\,” new work by photographer Kent Corley\, painter Kaidy Lewis and wood turner Rohit Warrier. The show will open on March 24th and run through April 19th with an opening reception on March 27th during Hillsborough’s Last Friday’s Art Walk. During the reception the Jackson Street Band will perform live music on the patio in front of the gallery.\nThere will be an artist talk with the 3 artists in the gallery on April 11th at 4pm. \nThe show’s title\, “Unfurling\,” has resonance for each of the artists.\nPainter Kaidy Lewis feels that her career in art has ‘unfurled.’ If you had asked her when she was seven what work she would be doing as an adult\, her career would make sense to that child – although her journey has taken a whole lifetime to unfurl. Says Lewis\, “For me\, unfurling is about faith. The kind of faith that ‘knows’ the fern leaf will unfurl as designed\, at the right moment. So whilst waiting for events to unfurl\, this series of paintings looks at my favorite things – nature’s fractals.” Those are the repeating geometric patterns found in such things as pinecones\, seashells and ferns. “My smaller pieces in the show are from teaching and demonstrating at The Forest at Duke where I am Artist in Residence.” \nFor wood turner Rohit Warrier\, “Unfurling” is a story of personal and artistic growth\, coming out of an artistic cocoon after 12 years of practicing this art form. “In this my first HGA featured show\, I highlight pieces that have pushed my skills beyond the traditional functional wood turning into a deliberate unfurling of visual elements such as shape\, texture\, color and scale.”\nThe show will highlight a massive 42″ lathe-turned oak tabletop\, to naturally warped once-turned green-wood vases\, functional bowls inlaid with minerals\, textured boxes\, platters with hand carved handles\, hand carved greenwood kuksas\, and decorated cooking and eating spoons. \nAccording to contemporary photographer Kent Corley\, “as an art\, photography wrestles with a central tension: it begins with what already exists.” Unlike painting or sculpture which can freely invent worlds through style or imagination\, photography must start with the visible world. That world offers endless possibilities\, but what is chosen\, and how it is framed\, is shaped by personal history\, culture\, and experience. Every photograph reflects not just what is seen\, but how it is seen. “In light of current affairs I felt this was a good time to re-visit photography from recent travels. These images represent impressions from Czechia\, England and France\, hopefully making their own statements on youth\, art\, aesthetics\, mortality and memory. I aim to leave much interpretation open to the viewer.” \nAbout the Gallery\nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned and operated by 21 local artists and represents these established artists exhibiting contemporary fine art and fine craft. The gallery’s offerings include watercolor\, oil and acrylic paintings\, metal and figurative sculpture\, photography\, ceramics\, scratchboard\, turned wood\, jewelry\, glass arts\, metals\, encaustic\, enamel\, and handcrafted furniture. 121 N.

SUMMARY:The Andy Kush Band
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a memorable night of soulful blues\, funk\, rock\, and reggae as the Andy Kush Band brings their high-energy groove to The Bar(n) At Sonark Farms and Off The Hog food truck – March 27\, 6-11PM \n6PM | Doors & Off The Hog  Food Truck\n8PM |Music 8 PM \nTickets: $10 $15 Day of Show\nhttps://www.sonarkfarms.com/event-details/the-andy-kush-band \n  \nSoulful\, bluesy\, and full of groove\, the Andy Kush Band brings a vibrant night of live music to The Bar(n) at Sonark Farms. Blending blues\, funk\, rock\, and reggae\, guitarist Andy “Kush” Kushner delivers a sound that feels both timeless and fresh. The Off The Hog Food Truck will be on-site and serving up a variety of your favorites! TICKETS:$10/$15 \nAndy’s playing channels the influence of legends like Stevie Ray Vaughan\, Albert King\, Jimi Hendrix\, and David Gilmour — soulful guitar work\, deep grooves\, and expressive improvisation that moves easily from smoky blues to upbeat\, feel-good jams. Backed by a powerhouse lineup of top local musicians\, the band creates a sound that’s rich\, energetic\, and built for a great night of live music. \nRaised in the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area and now based in Raleigh\, Andy first found his footing in blues jam sessions before dedicating himself to life on the road. Years of gigging along California’s Central Coast sharpened his craft and deepened his connection to the music. That journey eventually led to a five-year touring run with reggae icon Pato Banton from 2014–2019\, performing hundreds of shows across the U.S. and internationally. \nCome early\, grab some food\, and settle in for a night of great music\, good company\, and the easygoing atmosphere that makes evenings at The Bar(n) something special. \nWe’re excited to welcome Off the Hog food truck for the evening\, serving up barbecue\, tacos\, and Southern favorites. Off the Hog is known for their traditionally smoked meats\, slow-cooked over hardwoods and coals and crafted from carefully selected cuts — the kind of honest\, satisfying food that pairs perfectly with a night of live music. \n—- \nAndy Kush Band\, Friday\, March 27\, 6-11PM\nThe Bar(n) at Sonark Farms\n6:00 PM — Doors Open/ Food Truck: Off the Hog (Barbecue • Tacos • Southern)\n8:00 PM — Andy Kush Band Live \nTickets: $10 Advance / $15 Day of Show\nhttps://www.sonarkfarms.com/event-details/the-andy-kush-band
