“Old Things” will feature photography by Steve West and paintings by Andrew Atkin, and will be on display starting October 1, 2021 through November 26, 2021. Steve’s photography for this exhibit focuses on old eclectic subjects such as buildings, machinery, and vehicles. A nostalgic connection to aged artifacts reminds him of pleasant memories from childhood, and he is drawn to the interesting textures of aging wood or the rust patterns on old vehicles. Andrew Atkin has been an active artist for over 50 years, sketching and painting barns, outbuildings, and other scenes in western North Carolina. His acrylic works are collected widely. The Caldwell Arts Council is located at 601 College Ave SW in Lenoir, NC, and is open to the public Tuesday through Friday from 9am to 5pm.
