Saturday night? Exhibit hopping time
‘Kia Neill: Terrain’
Chicken wire, papier-mâché, lumber, plaster, paint, glitter, polyurethane foam, flocking fiber, Spanish moss, CDs, blinking colored lights, tinsel. It’s all fodder for artist Kia Neill to create her enveloping, gallery-filling installations that evoke otherworldly — though unbashedly — fake micro-worlds.
Opening reception: 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday.
Exhibit continues through Feb. 27.

‘Christine Gray: Into the Light’
In her second solo exhibition at Okay Mountain Christine Gray continues to explore, as the press release says, ‘the frenetic play between real and unreal created using sculptural arrangements as the basis for her paintings. This new body of work takes its inspiration from American mythological tropes, often revealing surreal landscapes, crude shelters and objects suggestive of rituals with mystical significance.’
Opening reception: 7 to 10 p.m. Saturday
Exhibit continues through Feb. 13.
