This exhibition examines how artists capture, interpret, and evoke movement through visual rhythm. From the fluidity of gestures to the pulse of repeated forms, and from the suggestion of physical motion to the sensation of energetic flow, this show celebrates artworks that embody momentum, dynamic flow, and cadence. Viewers are encouraged to experience how visual art can reflect the beats, patterns, and motions that animate the world around us. The chosen works reference rhythm found in nature, the human body, architecture, sound, or purely abstract movement, with a central focus on how artists create the feeling of motion through visual means.

Felicia & Friends: A Togetherness Tribute to MLK is a community-centered project and group exhibition grounded in action, resistance, and collective care. This exhibition confronts the urgent question at the heart of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of the Beloved Community: How do we actively build a just, equitable world together?

Communities, like fiber, do not come together by chance; they are shaped through struggle, persistence, and intentional acts of care. Each work in this exhibition embodies truth, transforming fragments into unified forms that speak to solidarity, resilience, and interdependence. The exhibit is a "community" of over 20 artists coming together to express principles of Beloved Community and I Have  A Dream principles.

This exhibition honors the legacy of Dr. King not through nostalgia, but through action—calling viewers to recognize their role in shaping the communities they inhabit. It invites healing, accountability, and reflection, urging us to move beyond witnessing injustice toward becoming active co-creators of a world where every voice, every body, and every thread is seen, valued, and necessary.

JURIED SHOW
Juror- Elizabeth Dale-Deines, Manager, Public Programs, National Air and Space Museum

Since the dawn of human existence, humans have been using visual art to communicate stories. From the cave paintings of Lascaux to the intricate hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt, art has been a fundamental way for people to document their experiences, beliefs, and feelings. Chronicles: Storytelling Through Imagery will explore the power of visual narratives by bringing together artworks that weave compelling stories using symbolism, composition, and emotion. These works will highlight how contemporary artists engage in this age-old tradition by capturing moments, myths, and their personal histories in striking and imaginative ways.

This exhibition will be open to the public in the Kay Daugherty Gallery of Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center, from October 10th, 2025, to January 18th, 2026. Annmarie hosted an Annmarie After Hours opening reception for the exhibition on October 10th, 2025.
