Mitchell Hill Gallery | Coastal Constructs
Head to Mitchell Hill to see the latest works from Jamie Blackburn, Coastal Constructs. The series of conceptual abstract paintings draws upon Blackburn’s recent travels to coastal areas affected by extreme weather. In a press release Blackburn says, “I witnessed an eerie and rustic beauty in the resourcefulness used to preserve and reconstruct homes and businesses.” This reconstruction that Blackburn witnessed inspired him to rework existing paintings, while still allowing remnants of the past to peek through.
Fri. March 1, 5-9 p.m. Free to attend. Mitchell Hill Gallery, 438 King St. Downtown. mitchellhillinc.com

Miller Gallery | Tell Me Something
Every artist has their own voice and form of expression, but sometimes colors alone don’t say it loud enough. Tell Me Something will feature painter Charlotte Filbert, collagist Miles Purvis, and ceramicist Liv Antonecchia with artwork that includes written messages. All naturally inclined to use written text in their work, these three artists harness the power of language to incite humor, communicate emotion, or make a call to action.
Fri. March 1, 5-8 p.m. Free to attend. Miller Gallery, 149 1/2 East Bay St. Downtown. millergallerychs.com

Robert Lange Studios | Drift
Contemporary landscape artist KC Collins brings his meditative body of paintings, Drift, to Robert Lange Studios this March. For this series, Collins experimented with new canvas shapes to explore familiar subjects. In a press release Collins says, “To drift, or be carried away both talks about my process and also my subjects. As a part of my continuing exploration into sea and cloudscapes, these paintings are from moments in nature that cause us to pause and appreciate the uniqueness in a scene that is seemingly commonplace.”
Fri. March 1, 5-8 p.m. Free to attend. Robert Lange Studios, 2 Queen St. Downtown. robertlangestudios.com
