Local artists L. S. King and Ken Smith explore one of the defining natural features or our region through separate media: Peak Creek. Join us for this shared exploration of this natural resource and its surrounding region beginning June 14, 2022.

From the artists: For the past several years, Peak Creek is a constant in our lives. Like a family member, it rambles through our days and evenings. We have walked along its shore at sunset, run beside it during break-of-dawn exercises, and sat nearby drinking Sangria and watching the ducks swim contentedly in the creek’s lukewarm water on an August day. We have seen its end at Claytor Lake, and we have gone in search of its origin, realizing that mystery is larger and more complicated than navigating its path with Google Maps. For this project, each of us shares our own vision of Peak Creek.

A reception and artist talk is scheduled for Friday, Jun 17, 2022.
