If you’re curious to see precisely what happens when “free spirits and able bodies” unite in the name of group healing, check out Golden Belt’s upcoming third Friday, themed “A Night of Public Healing.” At the event’s epicenter is a new exhibition by Carrboro-based artist Amanda Barr.
A final display of the Branch Gallery legacy, the exhibition promises an insightful and oft-humorous excursion into the human body, showcasing Barr’s trademark melange of craft materials and imaginative wit. A one-time in-site performance at the opening will allow Third Friday revelers to become a part of Barr’s vibrant creative vision.
