Hal Gomer & Patricia Barland Galleries
As part of the Chesapeake Arts Center’s 25th Anniversary celebration, Legacy & Light honors the artists, stories, and creative vision that have shaped CAC over the past quarter century—while looking ahead to the next generation of artistic expression.
This special anniversary exhibition brings together past CAC artists working in a wide range of disciplines, including oil, photography, ceramics, woodworking, textiles, mixed media, watercolor, and acrylic. These works reflect the depth, diversity, and lasting impact of the artistic community that has grown alongside CAC since its founding in 2001.
In contrast and conversation with these works, the Light Exhibition, offering a contemporary and immersive experience that represents innovation, experimentation, and the evolving future of the arts at CAC.
Connecting the two galleries, visitors will experience a curated display of Chesapeake Arts Center history, featuring archival photographs, posters, playbills, and a timeline highlighting major milestones from the past 25 years. This historical installation recognizes the founders, long-time staff, artists, and supporters whose dedication and vision helped build CAC into the vibrant cultural center it is today.
Legacy & Light is both a celebration and a reflection—an invitation to honor where we’ve been, celebrate who we are, and imagine what’s next.
Deadline for both exhibition applications – Friday, May 29, 2026. For more information and where to apply, please see links below –
