Holding a Bright Untroubled Sky

Rowe Galleries at UNCC

September 18, 2026

Open through:

The exhibition is designed to ignite the senses and to inspire us to cultivate our own imaginative capacity through game play, interactive digital stations, performance, immersive installations and thought-provoking paintings and works on paper.

Curated by writer and folklorist Dr. Amy Hale, "Holding a Bright Untroubled Sky: Visioning a Better World Through Magic" asks us not to be afraid to dream as we are invited to consider a new way of seeing and engaging with each other. The first step toward a beautiful new world lies within each of us, and the artists in this exhibition want to help plant those first seeds through inspiring joy, connection and wonder, helping us all to become visionary co-creators of our shared future.

Exhibiting artists include John Abell, Alice Bucknell, CROSSLUCID, Angela Fraleigh, Heather Freeman, Edgar Fabian Frias, Hilma’s Ghost, Loni Johnson, Alessandro Keegan, Anna Kenar, Tai Shani, Mark Titchner, Suzanne Triester, and Erik Waterkotte.
