CONCORD  — A new group exhibition, All in the Approach:  Abstract, Allegorical, Analytical, will be on display January 19-March 13 at The Galleries at the Cabarrus Arts Council.

The Galleries are located at 65 Union Street S in Cabarrus County’s 1976 historic courthouse.  The group exhibition includes works by 16 artists:  Raed Al-Rawi, Susan Brenner, Alex Clark, Chris Craft, Courtney Dodd, Clark Hawgood, Chris Horney, Jennifer Kincaid, Kenn Kotara, Libby and Jim Mijanovich, Alison Overton, Mary-Ann Prack, Tom Stanley, Billie Ruth Sudduth and Tim Turner.

As an artist begins to explore an avenue for his vision, one of these three approaches often presents:  abstraction to convey ideas through non-representation, an allegory to use symbols to tell the story or the analytical approach to separate an idea into component parts.  The artists in this show use a variety of media in one or more of these approaches. 

Several special events will be held in conjunction with the exhibition.  A downtown Concord Art Walk, featuring visual art at several locations and entertainment, will take place on Friday, February 26, 6-9 p.m.  Three of the exhibiting artists will present free gallery talks:  Alison Overton, Thursday, January 14, 7 p.m.; Kenn Kotara, Thursday, February 11, 7 p.m.; and Tom Stanley, Thursday, March 11, 7 p.m.  The talks are co-sponsored by the Cabarrus Art Guild.

Gallery hours are 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday and the second Saturday of each month.  Group tours can be arranged at other times by appointment.  For more information, call 704-920-ARTS (2787) or visit www.CabarrusArtsCouncil.org.
