Join us for a very special Second Saturday as Historic Downtown Hannibal celebrates regional artists with the Downtown Hannibal Art Walk! Visit nine venues: The Alliance Art Gallery, Ayers Pottery, Blue Daisy, Clemens General Store, Gallery 310, The Hannibal Arts Council, Java Jive, Jim's Journey: The Huck Finn Freedom Center, and the Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum.
The Alliance Art Gallery will be featuring three artists, Preston Jackson, Adriana Brown and Veronica Sandercock.
Celebrate Juneteenth and the power of art to inspire healing and strength at the Alliance Art Gallery this June. The gallery proudly features the powerful work of renowned painter and sculptor Preston Jackson, whose large-scale paintings of African animals explore themes of resilience, history, and human connection. This exhibit coincides with the “A Nation Takes Place” convening, held in partnership with Jim’s Journey: The Huck Finn Freedom Center on Saturday, June 7.
The collaboration between gallery artists Veronica Sandercock and Adriana Brown also continues in June. Inspired by Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold,
Sandercock and Brown have focused on the themes of healing, resilience and restoration.
This month the spotlight turns to the Brown’s paintings, work that embraces the quiet beauty and
layered textures that emerge through time, age and lived experience. Just as the marks made in
Sandercock’s Kintsugi ceramic pieces create beauty in what was considered broken, Brown’s
paintings reframe traditional ideas of what is beautiful. “I honor weathered surfaces and layered
textures as marks of life and depth.”
