This exhibition will be on view from Sept. 16 through Oct. 24 at the Charles W. & Norma C. Carroll Gallery, located on the first floor of the Visual Arts Center at 927 Third Ave. in downtown Huntington.
“Michael DeLuca’s artwork stems from a genuine need to create,” says Ian Hagarty, painting professor at the School of Art & Design. “For over a decade, DeLuca has worked primarily with pastel on paper, often within a limited color palette. His work is significant not only for its conceptual focus but also for reminding us that creating art doesn’t require an elaborate studio or expensive materials – just a willingness, sincerity, and discipline to engage in the process.”
The exhibition will conclude with an artist talk by DeLuca from 5-6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24, in Room 209 of the Visual Arts Center, where he will discuss his creative process. This will be followed by a closing reception from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Charles W. & Norma C. Carroll Gallery, offering attendees an opportunity to engage with the artist and view the exhibition one final time.
Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Admission to the gallery and associated events is free and open to all.
