The Coastal Discovery Museum, a Smithsonian Affiliate on Hilton Head Island, will present “Deliberately Unpredictable,” a new exhibition by the Art Beyond Tradition Group, from August 25 through November 4. This biennial show features 12 Lowcountry abstract artists working in various media, including painting, collage, encaustic, sculpture, mixed media, and ink.
Admission is free. The public is invited to attend an opening reception from 5 to 7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 11. A gallery walk with participating artists will take place at 11 a.m., Thursday, Sept. 25.
The Coastal Discovery Museum has hosted several exhibitions by the Art Beyond Tradition Group, most recently the 2022 show Interpretations. Formed in 2006, the group was created by a handful of local artists seeking to bring more attention to abstract art in the Lowcountry.
“This show brings together artists who work independently yet share a commitment to experimenting to push the boundaries of the ordinary,” said Elizabeth Greenberg, Director of Exhibitions at the Coastal Discovery Museum.
Participating artists in Deliberately Unpredictable include: Cindy Chiappetta, Arla Wible, Vickie Jourdan, Sharon Licata, Mark Larkin, Margaret Crawford, Jo Dye, Earline Allen, Donna Varner, Joanna Chalson, John Crum, and Linda Tully.
The Museum gallery is open Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
