Press release from the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce :

05/24/2021

The Carroll Arts Center is opening two new gallery exhibits this June, one featuring unique kinetic sculptures and one showcasing works from Carroll County Public School art teachers.

In the Tevis Gallery will be “Mobiles and Stabiles,” full of various sculptures that are capable of being moved by air currents, taking advantage of the principles of equilibrium and suspension. The terms “mobiles” and “stabiles” were coined by Marcel Duchamp in 1931 to describe the early works of Alexander Calder, who established the art form prolifically until his death in 1976. Noted Carroll County sculptors Charlie Maiorana and Thomas Sterner present their own interpretation of this art form with works created exclusively for this exhibit. “I love watching kinetic sculptures move,” says Sterner, “Making them is a fun challenge, and exercises both sides of the brain.” The show is on view June 14 - July 24. The public is invited to a free reception on Thursday, June 17 from 5 - 7pm.

Also on view this summer in the Community Gallery is “Adapt and Inspire,” the annual exhibit from Carroll County Public School art teachers. These arts educators inspire creativity in their students while still taking time to create their own artwork. This show is always an eclectic mix of mediums and styles that celebrates artistic passion. The exhibit is on view June 28 - July 31. The public is invited to a free reception on Thursday, July 1 from 5 - 7pm.

These exhibits are free and open to the public during regular Arts Council business hours. Get more information at CarrollCountyArtsCouncil.org or by calling the box office at 410-848-7272. The Carroll Arts Center is located at 91 West Main Street in Downtown Westminster.
