Come to Your Senses showcases 22 local artists working with encaustic paint*, incorporating the ancient medium with contemporary practices.  Artists explore their sense of self with this sensual medium, contemplating the connection between the mind, body and the world around us.

*Encaustic is a form of paint made with pigment, beeswax and resin from a Malaysian fir tree.  Molten paints are layered and burned in using torches, irons or other forms of heat to create this beautifully deep and physical form of art.

Recovery Panes is an interactive healing arts project developed by Kelly Williams, helping those whose lives have been impacted by addiction.  With support from Samantha Stidham & the Regional Arts and Culture Council

The First Thursday reception will feature music by Lyndee Mah and Janice Scroggins.
