Good morning! Grab a cup of coffee, tea, or whatever you'd like, and please join us for this video feature of Coffee with the Curator, where our Curator, Dianna Cameron, takes us on a virtual tour highlighting a few of the works and artists in our current exhibition, "Branching Out: Works in Wood from North Carolina." Today, we're featuring artists Aspen Golann, Bob Trotman, Derrick Beasley, and Roger Atkins. We hope you enjoy!

Join lil' docent, Aiden Smith, for this raw and unedited tour of Branching Out: Works in Wood from NC. (This tour was filmed during the installation process of the exhibition, so you’ll notice a few things out of place.) We wish you could tour this breathtaking exhibition in person as we're sure you would be as impressed and delighted as this six-year old! We remain hopeful you'll get a chance to come visit soon once it's safe to gather again.

Zak Weinberg (b. 1993) is a multi-disciplinary sculptor and fabricator. Through the alter-ego, Grebniew Kaz (his name spelled backwards), a relationship has been forged with a laser cutter, creating and exhibiting machine fabricated wood relief sculptures. Each piece is an expression of universal language to celebrate the harmonious balance of difference.

This week, we're highlighting exhibiting artist Brent Skidmore. Watch a brief interview and check out his fascinating work.
