SUMMARY:John and June Allcott Gallery: Under the Tent: Whirling and Flickering
DESCRIPTION:Michelle Inez Hinojosa and Barbara Pearsall\nReception: August 20\, 5-7 pm \nDrawn together in graduate school by their mutual love of experimentation and play\, Michelle Inez Hinojosa and Barbara Pearsall have built a collaborative practice around analogue animation and vibrant abstraction. Together\, their work explores optical toys\, immersive installations\, and movement. Under the Tent: Whirling & Flickering features kaleidoscopic imagery\, flickering abstractions\, projection mapping\, a hidden trapdoor\, and hand-cranked wheels that transform what viewers see. After searching for the perfect venue\, they are thrilled to bring their collaborative installation to UNC. Their first public artwork\, Turnabout Folly\, will debut in Lansing\, Michigan in Fall 2026. \nMichelle Hinojosa works at the intersection of painting\, poetry\, and fiber art\, where she considers memory\, intergenerational trauma\, and migration. Born in central Texas\, by way of the fields of California and Northern Mexico\, Michelle uplifts traditions of making that have provided much-needed stability to a family displaced. Michelle Hinojosa is an Assistant Professor of Art at Pennsylvania State University. \nBarbara Pearsall is an artist and educator based in Michigan. Her art practice is attentive to how deviation from material conventions can subvert or metamorphose the role of institutions\, where her philosophical and political concerns manifest through material explorations of the built environment. Her pieces seek to create illusory and unusual architectural conditions as a form of resistance\, interrupting real-world functionality to allow for alternative systems of order. She is an Assistant Professor of Foundations & Sculpture at Michigan State University. \nAdmission: Free\nGallery Hours: Monday-Friday\, 8 am-5 pm \nA weeknight or daytime permit is now required after 5:00 pm on weekdays. No permit is required from 5:00 pm Friday through 7:30 am Monday. A $1.00 one-night pass is available in selected lots. More information can be found at UNC’s Weeknight Parking website. \nFor more information\, please contact: Annette Lawrence\, annettel@unc.edu

SUMMARY:There and Back
DESCRIPTION:The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts presents There and Back\, playfully illustrative pottery by Bernadette Januska\, vibrant landscape paintings by Marcy Lansman and abstracted botanical paintings by Ellie Snow. In the gallery from September 22nd through October 25th. The opening reception will be held during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk on September 25th from 6-9pm. During the art walk\, Duo d’Antan (David Digiuseppe and Rob Sharer)\, will play live music on the front patio. The show will include an artist talk by Bernadette Januska\, Marcy Lansman and Ellie Snow in the gallery on Saturday\, October 17th at 2pm. \nPotter Bernadette Januska fell in love with illustration long before she discovered clay\, and it remains an essential part of her work today. Each vessel becomes a surface for illustration. Her work draws inspiration from her Filipino heritage as well as pop culture. Each piece is handbuilt and carved with flowers\, animals and playful messages. “By combining precolonial Filipino motifs with contemporary imagery” says Januska\, “I explore the space between my cultural heritage and my experience growing up across America\, bridging the gap between the two. My ultimate goal is to create functional pieces that can be used and cherished every day—vessels that invite a deeper connection to the simple acts of eating\, drinking\, and sharing.” \nWhat excites painter Marcy Lansman most is the use of color in her landscapes.\nLandsman describes her technique this way\, “I begin by covering the canvas with random blobs of bright color.  Then I use a palette knife to create an ‘overpainting’ on top of the color blobs\, letting specks of the underpainting peak through. This year\, I’ve been experimenting with a wider variety of colors in the overpainting.  I’ve found that the wider the variety of colors\, the more vibrant the painting.”  Asked if she paints plein air\, Lansman says she visits the site and takes many\, many photos\, then uses the photos as inspiration for the painting. \n“At this stage of life\,” says painter Ellie Snow “I spend a lot of time on the rural roads between Hillsborough and Saxapahaw\, ferrying my kids to and from school. My paintings often originate from scenes I pass.” With the title There and Back\, she decided to focus on painting these scenes she passes four times a day. “I am in awe of how they change daily or weekly depending on weather and season. I sometimes took videos from the window of my car and used stills from the videos as my reference photos.” Other times\, she would pull over and take photos\, or even park and walk\, to look at what is often passed by so quickly. “In the end\, I was surprised at how different these paintings are from one another. The season\, weather\, light\, and mood had a big impact on how each one turned out. It’s that novelty that keeps me inspired and excited to get home and paint. \nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned by 21 local artists featuring painting\, sculpture\, photography\, glass arts\, jewelry\, turned wood\, handcrafted furniture\, pottery\, scratchboard\, and mixed media. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough NC. Hours: Monday through Saturday 10-6\, Sunday 12-4. For more information about the show visit http://www.HillsboroughGallery.com

DESCRIPTION:The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts presents There and Back\, playfully illustrative pottery by Bernadette Januska\, vibrant landscape paintings by Marcy Lansman and abstracted botanical paintings by Ellie Snow. In the gallery from September 22nd through October 25th. The opening reception will be held during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk on September 25th from 6-9pm. During the art walk\, Duo d’Antan (David Digiuseppe and Rob Sharer)\, will play live music on the front patio. The show will include an artist talk by Bernadette Januska\, Marcy Lansman and Ellie Snow in the gallery on Saturday\, October 17th at 2pm. \nPotter Bernadette Januska fell in love with illustration long before she discovered clay\, and it remains an essential part of her work today. Each vessel becomes a surface for illustration. Her work draws inspiration from her Filipino heritage as well as pop culture. Each piece is handbuilt and carved with flowers\, animals and playful messages. “By combining precolonial Filipino motifs with contemporary imagery” says Januska\, “I explore the space between my cultural heritage and my experience growing up across America\, bridging the gap between the two. My ultimate goal is to create functional pieces that can be used and cherished every day—vessels that invite a deeper connection to the simple acts of eating\, drinking\, and sharing.” \nWhat excites painter Marcy Lansman most is the use of color in her landscapes.\nLandsman describes her technique this way\, “I begin by covering the canvas with random blobs of bright color.  Then I use a palette knife to create an ‘overpainting’ on top of the color blobs\, letting specks of the underpainting peak through. This year\, I’ve been experimenting with a wider variety of colors in the overpainting.  I’ve found that the wider the variety of colors\, the more vibrant the painting.”  Asked if she paints plein air\, Lansman says she visits the site and takes many\, many photos\, then uses the photos as inspiration for the painting. \n“At this stage of life\,” says painter Ellie Snow “I spend a lot of time on the rural roads between Hillsborough and Saxapahaw\, ferrying my kids to and from school. My paintings often originate from scenes I pass.” With the title There and Back\, she decided to focus on painting these scenes she passes four times a day. “I am in awe of how they change daily or weekly depending on weather and season. I sometimes took videos from the window of my car and used stills from the videos as my reference photos.” Other times\, she would pull over and take photos\, or even park and walk\, to look at what is often passed by so quickly. “In the end\, I was surprised at how different these paintings are from one another. The season\, weather\, light\, and mood had a big impact on how each one turned out. It’s that novelty that keeps me inspired and excited to get home and paint. \nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned by 21 local artists featuring painting\, sculpture\, photography\, glass arts\, jewelry\, turned wood\, handcrafted furniture\, pottery\, scratchboard\, and mixed media. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough NC. Hours: Monday through Saturday 10-6\, Sunday 12-4. For more information about the show visit http://www.HillsboroughGallery.com

In the gallery from September 22nd through October 25th. The opening reception will be held during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk on September 25th from 6-9pm. During the art walk\, Duo d’Antan (David Digiuseppe and Rob Sharer)\, will play live music on the front patio. The show will include an artist talk by Bernadette Januska\, Marcy Lansman and Ellie Snow in the gallery on Saturday\, October 17th at 2pm. \nPotter Bernadette Januska fell in love with illustration long before she discovered clay\, and it remains an essential part of her work today. Each vessel becomes a surface for illustration. Her work draws inspiration from her Filipino heritage as well as pop culture. Each piece is handbuilt and carved with flowers\, animals and playful messages. “By combining precolonial Filipino motifs with contemporary imagery” says Januska\, “I explore the space between my cultural heritage and my experience growing up across America\, bridging the gap between the two. My ultimate goal is to create functional pieces that can be used and cherished every day—vessels that invite a deeper connection to the simple acts of eating\, drinking\, and sharing.” \nWhat excites painter Marcy Lansman most is the use of color in her landscapes.\nLandsman describes her technique this way\, “I begin by covering the canvas with random blobs of bright color.  Then I use a palette knife to create an ‘overpainting’ on top of the color blobs\, letting specks of the underpainting peak through. This year\, I’ve been experimenting with a wider variety of colors in the overpainting.  I’ve found that the wider the variety of colors\, the more vibrant the painting.”  Asked if she paints plein air\, Lansman says she visits the site and takes many\, many photos\, then uses the photos as inspiration for the painting. \n“At this stage of life\,” says painter Ellie Snow “I spend a lot of time on the rural roads between Hillsborough and Saxapahaw\, ferrying my kids to and from school. My paintings often originate from scenes I pass.” With the title There and Back\, she decided to focus on painting these scenes she passes four times a day. “I am in awe of how they change daily or weekly depending on weather and season. I sometimes took videos from the window of my car and used stills from the videos as my reference photos.” Other times\, she would pull over and take photos\, or even park and walk\, to look at what is often passed by so quickly. “In the end\, I was surprised at how different these paintings are from one another. The season\, weather\, light\, and mood had a big impact on how each one turned out. It’s that novelty that keeps me inspired and excited to get home and paint. \nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned by 21 local artists featuring painting\, sculpture\, photography\, glass arts\, jewelry\, turned wood\, handcrafted furniture\, pottery\, scratchboard\, and mixed media. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough NC. Hours: Monday through Saturday 10-6\, Sunday 12-4. For more information about the show visit http://www.HillsboroughGallery.com

The show will include an artist talk by Bernadette Januska\, Marcy Lansman and Ellie Snow in the gallery on Saturday\, October 17th at 2pm. \nPotter Bernadette Januska fell in love with illustration long before she discovered clay\, and it remains an essential part of her work today. Each vessel becomes a surface for illustration. Her work draws inspiration from her Filipino heritage as well as pop culture. Each piece is handbuilt and carved with flowers\, animals and playful messages. “By combining precolonial Filipino motifs with contemporary imagery” says Januska\, “I explore the space between my cultural heritage and my experience growing up across America\, bridging the gap between the two. My ultimate goal is to create functional pieces that can be used and cherished every day—vessels that invite a deeper connection to the simple acts of eating\, drinking\, and sharing.” \nWhat excites painter Marcy Lansman most is the use of color in her landscapes.\nLandsman describes her technique this way\, “I begin by covering the canvas with random blobs of bright color.  Then I use a palette knife to create an ‘overpainting’ on top of the color blobs\, letting specks of the underpainting peak through. This year\, I’ve been experimenting with a wider variety of colors in the overpainting.  I’ve found that the wider the variety of colors\, the more vibrant the painting.”  Asked if she paints plein air\, Lansman says she visits the site and takes many\, many photos\, then uses the photos as inspiration for the painting. \n“At this stage of life\,” says painter Ellie Snow “I spend a lot of time on the rural roads between Hillsborough and Saxapahaw\, ferrying my kids to and from school. My paintings often originate from scenes I pass.” With the title There and Back\, she decided to focus on painting these scenes she passes four times a day. “I am in awe of how they change daily or weekly depending on weather and season. I sometimes took videos from the window of my car and used stills from the videos as my reference photos.” Other times\, she would pull over and take photos\, or even park and walk\, to look at what is often passed by so quickly. “In the end\, I was surprised at how different these paintings are from one another. The season\, weather\, light\, and mood had a big impact on how each one turned out. It’s that novelty that keeps me inspired and excited to get home and paint. \nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned by 21 local artists featuring painting\, sculpture\, photography\, glass arts\, jewelry\, turned wood\, handcrafted furniture\, pottery\, scratchboard\, and mixed media. 121 N.
