Mostly Harmless ~ Artists at Play 2026

August 28, 2026 - October 3, 2026

Thomas Stevens Gallery

An improbable playpen of NC artists present works that are whimsical, amusing, quirky, weird, fanciful, mysterious, lighthearted, puzzling, offbeat, atypical, eccentric, curious, enigmatic, odd, provocative....but not particularly dangerous. While suitable for average households, there is high potential  these artworks will make spaces not so average. Probably worth the risk.
