Domestic Fictions
TheatreSquared
477 West Spring Street, FayettevilleApril 12, 2023 - May 14, 2023
"Domestic Fictions" features the abstract paintings of Carol Hart, who uses layers of paint, fabric, and fiberwork to create a rich and engaging visual experience. Hart's works draw on the power of memory and nostalgia, evoking familiar places from viewers' pasts and creating a forum where they can reflect on their own connections through fictionalized settings.
The exhibition will be a perfect complement to TheatreSquared's upcoming play, "Chicken & Biscuits," which explores the complexities of family relationships and grief. Hart's abstract paintings provide a fitting metaphor for the elusive nature of memory and the familiar experiences that the play probes.
"Domestic Fictions" is an opportunity for viewers to immerse themselves in the abstract blueprints of Hart's works, summoning feelings that are both personal and universal. Whether one identifies with the domestic spaces portrayed in Hart's paintings or not, the exhibition offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the nature of memory and the ties that bind us all. -

Protecting Our Peace
Faulkner Performing Arts Center
453 Garland Avenue, FayettevilleSeptember 19 - December 18, 2022
Protecting Our Peace invites you to consider the places you feel most peaceful and at ease. Is it in the mountains? Near water? Or trees? Often these quiet natural spaces allow our busy minds to at last rest, and provide us a greater perspective on life. Spending time in nature has been proven in numerous studies to help with mental health. However, despite the invaluable resources, both external and internal, that nature provides us, many of our natural spaces are in danger from erosion, deforestation, pollution, and other human-created crises.

From the Heart: The Power of it!
Putman House
20 South Hill Avenue, FayettevilleMarch 2 - May 1, 2022
Throughout modern times, women’s participation and impact on life on all levels have been marginalized. Values generally exhibited in women–compassion, kindness, thinking critically, not wanting to kill and colonize–are seen as ineffective in human progress, and from the heart. This exhibition, From the Heart - The Power of It! highlights that women maintain voices that empower the values they hold dear, that the work to pursue goals without bias or barriers is ongoing. From the Heart - The Power of It! honors women’s social, economic, cultural, and political achievements, despite structural opposition. It is a celebration of how women continue to advocate for themselves and the world around them.
