On view February 21 through April 4, 2026, these exhibitions span three gallery spaces and explore emotion, texture, memory, and place through distinct artistic voices.

Opening Reception: Saturday, February 21, 2026 | 4:00–6:00 PM
Free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

Hayloft Gallery
Feelings, Thoughts, and Dreams — Howard Wenger
Wenger’s paintings function as visual poetry, exploring contrast, balance, and emotional depth. The work invites viewers to slow down and engage with both light and shadow as part of the human experience.
Falcon Gallery

Textured Visions — Elaine Fleck
Inspired by the natural world, Fleck’s work incorporates fabric, oil paint, mosaics, and pen-and-ink techniques across paintings, drawings, and sculptural forms. Layered surfaces and intricate patterns encourage close looking and reflection.
Breezeway Gallery

The Spaces Between — Bronwen Valentine
A Floyd native, Valentine draws inspiration from Appalachian landscapes and meaningful places encountered through travel. Her paintings combine expressive color with detailed, hand-painted designs, reflecting her background in architecture and exploring memory and place.

220 Parkway Lane South, Floyd, VA
Gallery Hours: Tues, Wed, Fri 12–5 PM | Sat 10–5 PM

These exhibitions are proudly sponsored by Finn Graphics.
