UPCOMING EXHIBITS:
Works by Daniel Cunningham
July 3-August 29, 2026
Driven by an exploration of texture, color, and process, Daniel works with a blend of cold wax medium, pigments, encaustic, oil, acrylic, and collage to build layered, tactile compositions. Through carving and revealing earlier layers, he creates visual narratives which reach beyond representation and invite personal interpretation.
As an artist living with a disability, Daniel’s work serves as both a search for meaning and an emotional refuge, drawing inspiration from the gulf island he calls home while reflecting an inner landscape. Daniel explores the interplay of light and shadow, form and color—capturing emotions shaped by solitude and reflection. His art seeks equilibrium between the immediate circumstances and dangers of complacency, revealed in the absence of awareness, understanding, and compassion we often withhold from ourselves and society.
Through this process, Daniel aims to create work which speaks to our shared human experience—encouraging introspection, connection, and the courage to embrace self-discovery and growth.
“This Seems Familiar” Works by Lindsey Lawrence
July 3-August 29, 2026
Lindsey’s work is a journey into the past, a celebration of childhood memories that resonate through the lens of nostalgia and escapism. By revisiting the simpler, colorful world of youth, she aims to create a space where time slows down and emotions are transported back to a place of comfort and simple pleasures. Through bright color palettes, Lindsey evokes the feelings of warmth and safety often found in these early years. The vibrant hues are a key element in my work, mirroring the way memories tend to glow in the mind — saturated, vivid, and untainted by the complexities of adulthood.
Familiar imagery serves as a bridge that connects viewers to their own pasts. These symbols are universally understood, drawing on the collective experiences of many, and offering an opportunity for reflection. The repetition of such symbols across my work aims to spark recognition, inviting people to come together, not just as spectators, but as participants in the shared human experience of remembering.
Lindsey’s work is an invitation to escape into the comforting embrace of nostalgia, where the innocence of childhood and the simplicity of those early memories can offer solace in a world that often feels overwhelming. Through these connections, she hopes to remind us all of the power of memory, and how we can find moments of peace through the things we once collectively
knew and loved.
Stories Reimagined: Wearable Art by Fairhope High School Students
July 3-August 29, 2026
These one-of-a-kind dresses were created by students in Family and Consumer Sciences classes at Fairhope High School using pages from books that were being removed during a school library downsizing project. While many students were initially hesitant to tear apart books they had always been taught to treasure, they soon embraced the opportunity to give those stories a new life through art and design. As they transformed discarded pages into wearable creations, students demonstrated remarkable creativity, patience, and teamwork. These dresses are a reflection not only of their artistic talent, but also of their ability to collaborate, think creatively, and find beauty and purpose in unexpected places.
