SUMMARY:"Atmospherics" Art Reception at The Little Market
DESCRIPTION:The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is proud to announce the opening of its new satellite space\, The Little Market\, with an inaugural exhibition by artist Adrienne Knowles. The show\, titled “Atmospherics\,” features a striking new body of abstract landscapes. A reception will be held Friday\, May 30th from 6-9pm in conjunction with the Art Walk. \nThe Little Market is dedicated to showcasing curated\, rotating exhibitions and creative collaborations\, providing a fresh space where artists and the community connect through art. They aim to create new opportunities for both established and emerging artists. \nIn “Atmospherics\,” Knowles explores the emotional and intuitive process of artmaking through a series of richly layered\, abstract landscapes. Working with acrylics\, oil\, cold wax medium and sometimes collage elements\, she builds compositions from color\, texture\, and memory—inviting viewers to experience the quiet mystery of landscapes that arise from within. \nAdrienne shares: “For the last several years\, I’ve focused on non-representational abstraction\, but recently this group of abstract landscapes has taken shape—unbidden at first\, then welcomed wholeheartedly.” \nThe Little Market is located at 118 N. Churton St\, just across the street from the main HGA gallery within Hillsborough Real Estate Group\, and will feature a rotating selection of artist exhibitions\, small works\, and curated collections. Join us for the closing reception of “Atmospherics” on Friday\, May 30th from 6-9pm and experience this exciting new addition to Hillsborough’s art scene. \n“Atmospherics” will be available to view fthrough June 15th\, 2025. The Little Market is open Last Fridays 6-9pm and Saturdays and Sundays 12-4. For more information\, visit www.hillsboroughgallery.com/the-little-market.
