Flora & Fauna

Artworks Inspired by Nature

THE SHELL POINT GALLERY

Executed in bronze, ceramic, glass, paint, and mixed media, the artworks in Flora & Fauna express the beauty of nature. Guest artist Martha Grattan of South Carolina joins four of Shell Point’s talented resident artists—painters Renée Chastant and Betsy Conrad, potter Augusta Crane, and glass artist/potter Annie Wainwright—to create a magical world of animals, insects, flowers, and foliage.

In this exhibition, visitors will stroll through various “places” in nature to discover the artworks on display. A highlight of these spaces, The Pond will display spectacular ceramic lily pads, whimsical ceramic frogs and a beautiful heron, colorful glass birds and insects, and surrounding paintings depicting the flora and fauna typically found at a pond.

On The Road Again

The Hubcap as Art

THE SHELL POINT, OVERLOOK, AND LEGACY GALLERIES AND SELECTED ADDITIONAL SPACES

Sponsored by Guys Who Give

Concern for the environment inspired this exhibition of more than 200 artworks, each one incorporating one or more discarded hubcaps and created by full-time professional artists across the globe. The exhibition was originally paired with the Smithsonian Institution exhibition WASTE NOT and presented in 2014 as Second Time Around: The Hubcap as Art in the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia. Following that venue, a greatly abbreviated version of the exhibition toured nationally. This is the first time in ten years that the collection as shown in the Second Time Around exhibition will be on public display in nearly its original, dazzling and fascinating entirety.

Seeing Red Works by Shell Point Artists & Writers

THE SHELL POINT GALLERY

Shell Point has a robust arts community that numbers at least 500 residents who are actively involved in artistic endeavors. Many residents in this community are now producing art of high artistic quality. As a juried and judged exhibition, Seeing Red will display exemplary artworks being produced by Shell Point artists and artisans today—in all mediums—including painting, photography, drawing, pottery, glass, textiles, collage, wood, and more. It is anticipated that up to 70 objects will be on display, each one presenting its artist’s unique interpretation of “seeing red.” A special component of the exhibition will present the works of Shell Point writers, reflecting on the same theme.
