With a diversifying population, rapidly evolving cities, and transforming ecology, North Carolina has undergone immense change, especially in recent years. This exhibition features works by artists who are reckoning with the inevitability of the passage of time across our state.

While some artists reflect on deeply personal memories of their home and their relationship with the land and built environment, others highlight the consequences of climate change and the legacy of social injustice. Then and There, Here and Now challenges viewers to consider their own relationship to the past—however nostalgic, mournful, disorienting, or hopeful—and its impact on the present.

Visible History: A Celebration of North Carolina Native American Culture
Block Gallery Exhibition
This exhibition aims to showcase the bountiful culture of our North Carolina Indigenous communities. Our featured artist, Alexandra Williams captures the proud cultural history and representation celebrated at the Dix Park Inter-Tribal Pow Wow. Her photography highlights the rich traditions of North Carolina’s original residents to bring visibility to this vibrant community.
Additionally, we’ve partnered with the Triangle Native American Society (TNAS) to feature works by their member artists. Each unique work is rooted in their cultural history and is each artist’s contribution to carrying on traditions with new perspective.

Katrina Remembrances- 20 years after
Featuring work by:
Bryce Lankard
John Rosenthal
Donn Young
At the 20-year anniversary of the devastation that Hurricane Katrina wrought on New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, I am partnering with photographers John Rosenthal and Donn Young to present our views on the aftermath of the Hurricane. Due to the recent flooding in Hillsborough, NC, our original venue, the Eno Mills Gallery has closed. We have changed the date and location. The exhibition and a variety of speakers will now be at A Photographer's Place in Raleigh, NC and will take place in October during the Click! Photography Festival.

78/46 Analog Work: Elemental Presence

There are certain photographs that defy translation. You can try to scan them, photograph them, reproduce them in a book or on a screen, but something essential always slips through the cracks. Platinum and platinum/palladium prints are like that. They aren’t just visual; they’re physical, elemental. You need to see them in person to truly understand what they are. This is why the 78/46 exhibition came into being.
As the editor of Analog Forever Magazine, I’ve spent years celebrating the beauty and resilience of analog photographic practices. I’ve written about platinum prints, published them, even obsessed over how to best present them in print. But no matter how carefully we reproduce them, they never quite land the way they do in person. And that’s not a failure, it’s a reminder.
78/46 refers to the atomic numbers of platinum (78) and palladium (46). It’s a nod to the chemistry at the heart of this work, but also to the artistry. It is the transformation of metal into emotion, of materials into meaning. Each of the three photographers in this exhibition brings their own voice to the process. One might lean into narrative, another toward abstraction, a third toward the conceptual or poetic. But all of them share the discipline and devotion that this medium demands.
