Inside Joke by Dylan Smeak (Feb. 7-Mar. 22)
Westobou is excited to present the work of our 2024 Artist-in-Resident, Dylan Smeak. His work explores the thick, sticky layers of cultural residue left by time and the haze of nostalgia evoked by objects as simple as worn stickers, old logos, and bygone technological devices.

Join us on First Friday, February 7 at 5pm for an artist talk followed by an opening reception from 6-8pm.

The Gallery will be closed today! Stay warm!

In 2024, with your help, Westobou was able to grow our membership, offer more exhibition opportunities in our galleries, and assist over 140 artists in presenting something unique for our community.

From film screenings to immersive art experiences, gallery talks and musical performances we’ve had an incredible year. As we strive to be a sustainable presence in a time of great need, we hope you consider joining us this year in supporting our upcoming March auction and fundraiser party– WestoHUE, or participating as a member in our first members postcard show!

We have a lot to look forward to, and to get there– WEstobou NEEDs YOU!

Consider a year-end gift to Westobou to help us meet our goals and continue to bring engaging exhibitions, events and performances to Augusta!

In July of 2024, we received our final promised gift from the Porter Fleming Foundation, an organization that was instrumental in the foundation and creation of Westobou. Their generous contributions have significantly helped sustain us for the last 16 years allowing us to fulfill our mission and transform into the organization we are today. Losing that funding puts Westobou’s future in jeopardy.

At this critical time, your support is more important than ever as we work towards a sustainable and lasting presence in the arts. Help us meet our year-end goal of $5,000. Every donation helps Westobou support artists and their ideas to bring unique programming to our community.

Adam P. (AP) Faust is a creative based in Atlanta. He holds a BFA from Guilford College, where his 2014 Sculpture Thesis featured found object sculptures inspired by explorations in dreams, memory, and the woods of Durham and Greensboro, North Carolina. After graduating, Faust embraced collage as his primary art form, delving into surrealist explorations of the subconscious through dreams and automatism, and utilizing collage to reshape narratives through physical media. Currently, Faust serves as the Operations Director at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center. In this role, he curates exhibitions and programs in collaboration with various Atlanta arts organizations, educators, and artists at all stages of their careers.

Hannah Lawler
Aiken, SC
www.hannahlawler.com/fine-art


H. Lawler is a professional digital artist specializing in real-time 3D art who has worked in game development, production design for television, architectural visualization, and more. They hold a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design (2012) as well as a certificate in digital production from the Gnomon School of Visual Effects (2018). Their fine art practice explores our relationships to nature, place, and memory. Mixed media such as India ink, charcoal, oils, and monotype printmaking processes allow for dynamic and intuitive mark-making that border on abstraction. Figure, ground, and gesture merge in a way that is intentionally unsettling, inviting the viewer to question assumptions. Animals are metaphors and remembered landscapes refuse a nostalgic gaze. A Massachusetts native and ex-Californian, Lawler now lives and works in Aiken, South Carolina.

Meet the SEEDS artist
Caroline Clark
Lugoff, SC
www.revisioniststudio.art


Caroline Clark is a functional ceramic sculptor whose work highlights a sense of joy and wonder in everyday items. Exploring themes of community, growth and movement, she creates her own variations of the hidden symbiotic systems of coral reefs and mycelium networks. Her work draws parallels to our own communities and support systems and invites examination of human interconnectedness and the effect we have on those around us. Clark earned a B.A. in English and Spanish, an M.A. in Spanish Education, and spent twelve years as a Spanish educator before becoming a ceramicist and sculptor. Primarily self-taught, she has developed her own processes and tools to construct her intricate functional sculptures. Her work has been exhibited by The Jasper Gallery, FemmeX, Gap Gallery, numerous juried fine art fairs throughout the Southeast, and in private collections across the United States, Canada, and Great Britain. Clark currently lives and creates in the pine forests of her childhood in rural South Carolina and is actively involved in local arts organizations.

MICRO gallery - Dec 6-21
UN*broken
works by Terry Wilber

Artist Statement:
UN*broken is a visual exploration of the resilience and strength of women in the face of adversity. This exhibition delves into the complex themes of abuse, harassment, and subjugation, as well as the constraints imposed by traditional gender roles and the physical and emotional scars left by trauma.
UN*broken offers a narrative of women casting off the chains to reclaim their own identities. By exploring themes of healing, resilience, and reclamation, this exhibition invites viewers to engage in a dialogue that fosters empathy, understanding, and a collective commitment to healing and empowerment of those who have survived trauma.

Meet the SEEDS artist
Noah Reyes
Atlanta, GA
https://noahreyesartist.com/

Noah Reyes lives and works in Atlanta, GA. Reyes is an artist taking steps in many different directions, resulting in an awkward dance between curating, writing, and artmaking. Their work plays with words and symbols to craft a slippage of meaning about where they come from and where they are. Touching upon a history we are a part of, but cannot fully define, Noah aims to bridge connections between people and cultures to shape a more empathetic and nurturing future. Outside of art they are currently pursuing interests in weightlifting, biking, and cooking. They work for Art Papers, serve as a board member for Lostintheletters, and co-founded Eso Tilin Projects. Sometimes they write for ArtsATL, ART PAPERS, and Burnaway. Currently they are reading The Face of Another by Kobo Abe.
