The Muses Don’t Tell Me Sh*t is a solo exhibition by artist Vallee Noone. She says this about her featured 800+ artworks: “When I'm drawing, I feel as though I am watching the pieces form and have very little say in the vision. In fact, if I try to pursue a particular vision, the drawing falls apart quickly. It's when I surrender that the most amazing details, threads and coincidences become apparent.”

Oddly Familiar is a solo exhibition featuring oil painter Chad Knowles. Nature and mystery are the subjects Chad returns to again and again. His artwork explores the idea that there is consciousness in everything. The eye, a potent symbol of awareness, appears frequently in Chad’s work as a way of honoring that shared sentience.

Take a virtual tour of the exhibition and shop available works online where you can also learn more about the artists (coming soon!).

Opening reception: Friday, July 11, from 5-7pm, with artist talks beginning at 5:30pm. The Carbondale Arts gallery is free and open to the public weekdays from 10am-5pm.
