Carnegie Hall’s three rotating galleries feature new artists for May and June in the Old Stone Room (ground floor), Lobby Gallery (Hamilton Auditorium), and Museum Gallery (adjacent to the Auditorium). There will be an opening reception with the artists on site, on Friday, May 3, at 5 p.m. in conjunction with First Fridays after 5 in Lewisburg.
The Old Stone Room will feature “Kaleidoscope” by Marietta Lyall & Friends. This art show will feature works by eight friends who share the love of painting. Artists who are joining Lyall include Jeanne Brenneman, Judith Shellnut, Shelby Oreolt, Judie Lewis, John Telisko, Margaret Golden, and Susan Chappell.
The Lobby Gallery will house Rachel Dennison’s exhibit. Rachel is a painter and sculptor living in West Virginia. Her work focuses on the intersection of everyday and surreal. She creates whimsical paintings often focusing on personal growth and societal issues.
Ian Hagarty will be showcased in the Museum Gallery. Hagarty is an artist based in Huntington, WV, and a professor within the School of Art & Design at Marshall University. His work has been exhibited widely throughout the United States and Europe and he has been awarded two of the most prestigious research awards at Marshall University – the Marshall University Distinguished Artists & Scholars Award, as well as the John Marshall University Creative Scholar & Research Award.
The exhibits are free and open to the public, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, please visit carnegiehallwv.org, call 304-645-7917, or stop by the Hall at 611 Church Street, Lewisburg.
