Granary Art Center UPCOMING:
Land+Place+Performance is an exhibition of six contemporary artists—Al Denyer, Rachel Farmer, Levi Jackson, Will Lamson, Jared Steffensen, and Claire White—whose work investigates landscape. Divided into two parts, terra firma and terra incognita, the exhibition explores representations of both known sites and foreign places. Photographs, installations, drawings, sculpture and video are all used to explore how the ways in which a place is rendered can often make the site both familiar and strange simultaneously|1|. Opening Reception: Friday, April 4, 6-9 pm. Through June 28.

UPCOMING: e.g. Sarah O Donnell features installations that immerse the viewer in a space created with projected light and images.

Covey Center for the Arts UP: The Language of Sacred Space by Val Brinkerhoff featuring 50 photographs intended to lift and educate, to provide answers and questions. In addition to large, traditionally framed photographs, there are also a number of panels highlighting patterns that unite unique settings worldwide, even though they are separated by great distance, vast periods of time, and differing cultural and religious traditions.

The messages remain very relevant in our modern world. Through April 27.
