Visit the Steffen Thomas Museum of Art from Jan. 25-June 28 for their Special Exhibition From Tears to the Sea and Other Works, featuring Alexandra Huynh.

More details to follow.  Please call or visit their website for the most up-to-date information on this and other events hosted by the Steffen Thomas Museum of Art.

The Steffen Thomas Museum of Art is open Tuesday-Saturday, from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

Developed in collaboration with the Georgia Writers Museum, the upcoming will feature the art of painter Raven Waters, potter Senora Lynch (Haliwa-Saponi Tribe) and Steffen Thomas.

This environmentally-focused exhibition will explore, with artists and writers and audience, our place in the natural world: do we exist as a part of nature? Or outside of nature, experiencing the environment as a tourist or a consumer?

The title is a play on the internet phrase “touch grass” or “go touch some grass” that is said as a criticism to someone that they have been online too much and are disconnected from reality/the real world.

The museum is open Tuesday-Friday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
