“Strength Through Art” Exhibit (Hampton)

Bringing together three distinct yet interconnected exhibitions, this series highlights the power of material, voice, and transformation across disciplines. Expressions in Pastel: Mid-Atlantic Pastel Society reveals the depth and luminosity of pastel, where layered pigment captures both intimate detail and bold contemporary expression. Reflections: Women and Glass illuminates’ innovation in kiln-formed, blown, and stained glass, showcasing artists who push the boundaries of light, transparency, and strength within a historically demanding medium. Completing the trio, Strength in Word: Works by Derek Eley explores the intersection of language and image, where text becomes texture and message, inviting viewers to consider how meaning is constructed, seen, and felt. Together, these exhibitions create a dynamic dialogue about voice, material, and the transformative capacity of art.
