The Haywood County Arts Council’s (HCAC) latest exhibit, “Textures,” will run through Sept. 1 at the HCAC gallery on Main Street in downtown Waynesville. 

Showcasing a rich tapestry of artistic mediums including ceramics, woodwork, felt, mosaic, fabric, macrame, collage and more, this diversified exhibition promises to have something for every art enthusiast. 

The exhibit will kick off with an opening reception during “Art After Dark” from 6-9 p.m. Friday, July 5, at the HCAC gallery. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet the talented artists, enjoy complimentary beverages and take in this latest body of textural work.

“My abstract landscapes are inspired by the peacefulness of nature,” said exhibiting artist Lindsay Keeling. “I capture this feeling through an exploration of color, contrast and texture. My art is an invitation to pause and appreciate the beauty.”
