Ackland Art Museum - 101 South Columbia Street, Chapel Hill 27514, 919.966.5736. The Spectacular of Vernacular
- Festive food and drink. Featuring music by MGL
. Free and open to the public.
Embracing the rustic and the humbly homemade as well as the clash of street spectacle and commercial culture, The Spectacular of Vernacular brings together 25 artists whose work fosters a dialogue between contemporary art and the creative manifestations of quotidian items. The Ackland Art Museum at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is the final venue—and the only Southeast venue—of this traveling exhibition, organized by the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis.
The opening reception will feature music by MGL, a contemporary performance artist creating new works from the sounds around him. His original work Fracking Music! at the exhibition's opening reception contains samples from sound recordings made in the Ackland’s galleries during the physical installation of The Spectacular of Vernacular.

The ArtsCenter
- 300-G East Main Street, Carrboro, 919.929.2787.
Center Gallery- Veil Tease Installation by Catherine J Howard. The Veil Tease portraits, 3’ x 7’ fabric scrolls created by Catherine J Howard, allude to the vulnerable interior self that women protect when their physical bodies are on display. Their forms are briefly scratched in with pencil, but the artist focused on, by using oil paints, the small portions of their pose that reveal their hidden, “veiled”, personalities. Refashioning the scroll as an object rather than an image, the portraits allude to internal “illumination”, physicality, vulnerability, and the biased perception of our bodies by strangers. Howard’s artwork combines translucent oil painting and graphite drawings to explore emotional transparency. Past series have focused on specific burrs in her brain: racial and gender ambiguities, eating disorders, emotional abuse. Each new series inches toward unequivocal artistic intimacy. East End Gallery - Altered Alters featuring works by Buffy Maske, Goeff Henshall, Andrea Iacobucci, River Takada-Capel and more. Altered Alters is a collaborative effort of several local artists working in a variety of media. The artists and artisans are geared towards re-use and re-purposing, and incorporate found materials in their work and imagery. Altered Alters is a collective effort to re-examine found materials, and create new, one-of-a-kind art and craft with a sense of history and nostalgia.

Featured Artist for January: John Horwitz. We often see a final image and are struck by the color, light or texture of a world interpreted by the artist. It may be real, surreal, an impression or abstraction. We compare it to the experience and decide if it is truth, beauty, brutal reality or unjustly critical. It is in this end result of a lifetime of learning, and a continued quest for understanding that we stand and gaze at a photograph, canvas or sculpture and wonder what brought this work together as we see it.
