The gallery exhibitions, historic house museum, festivals, workshops, art meetings, special events, and art classes aim to provide area citizens with a positive experience in the visual arts, encouraging them to appreciate the arts and to develop their creative talents.

✨ SAUDADE: Work by Phoebe-Agnès Sinclair ✨
Opening Reception: Thursday, October 29, 5:30–7:30 PM
Artist Talk: Thursday, November 19, 5:30 PM
Every opposition meets somewhere—and at that point of convergence, another way of seeing emerges.
In Saudade, Phoebe-Agnès Sinclair explores the spaces between opposites: light and shadow, movement and stillness, life and death, ecstasy and melancholy. Through photography, painting, and site-specific installation, Sinclair creates an intimate, otherworldly experience that invites viewers to look not only at an image, but beyond it.

Meet Artist Torreah “Cookie” Washington!
Join us at the Lyndon House Arts Center on Saturday, October 24, from 4–5 PM for a reception celebrating Torreah “Cookie” Washington and her powerful fiber artwork.
A fourth-generation needle worker and the first in her family to embrace art quilting, Cookie creates quilts, rag baskets, and fiber art that explore African American history, ancestral memory, and the Divine Feminine. For Cookie, quilting is more than working with cloth—it is a way of honoring ancestors, preserving culture, and carrying stories forward.
Based in Goose Creek, South Carolina, Cookie is the Sam Doyle Artist in Residence for Culture and Community at the Penn Center, through a Mellon Foundation-funded partnership between the UGA Willson Center for Humanities and Arts and the Penn Center National Historic Landmark District.
Come meet the artist, experience her work, and learn more about the stories and traditions woven into her practice.

Opening Reception: Thursday, October 29 | 5:30–7:30 PM
Artist Talk with Sarah Flinn: Thursday, December 10 | 5:30 PM

Refusal of the Call brings together the work of Sarah Flinn and Eleanor Foy, exploring stage settings, iconic storytelling, and the ways we find ourselves inside a story.

Flinn’s cinematic landscapes become places for the viewer’s own journey, while Foy’s animals appear as guides, obstacles, and companions along the way. Together, the artists create an unfolding narrative that plays with theatricality, mass media, and personal discovery.
