Sertoma Arts Center is pleased to present a compelling summer exhibition featuring three unique showcases across its gallery spaces. From June 29 through August 27, 2025, visitors are invited to explore artistic expressions that celebrate memory, architecture, identity, and transformation.
In the Raleigh Room, Transcendent Expressions by Cheryl McCardle explores the beauty and evolution of time through layered, textural paintings created with oil and cold wax. McCardle’s works bridge past and present, offering rich surfaces that mimic the erosion and transformation found in both natural and manmade elements.
In the Hall Gallery, STRUCTURE & LIGHT: Architectural Paintings by Kenneth Eugene Peters reveals the quiet dignity of disappearing buildings. Peters’ acrylic paintings are rooted in a deeply personal history and fascination with architecture. Influenced by his childhood in transient housing and a pivotal encounter with a Raleigh neighborhood undergoing demolition, his paintings capture light, shadow, and story embedded in architectural forms.
In the Lobby Gallery, Alexandra Zuckerman presents work that celebrates routine, intimacy, and queer identity. Zuckerman’s detailed, hand-drawn printmaking challenges viewers to slow down and experience the subtle beauty of everyday life through a lens of personal narrative and defiant visibility.
Also on display in the Lobby Gallery, the talented students of Steve Karloski and Dr. Tim Cherry, exhibit their works in a Handbuilding Showcase, highlighting the variety of forms that can be created through a single medium and forming technique.
Don’t miss this exciting exhibit. Visit between June 29 and August 27, 2025, and mark your calendars for August 23 to meet the artists in person. Learn more about the exhibit and artists here.
