CARLTON GALLERY 2026 EVENTS

​​ Autumn Group Exhibition

Artistic Odysseys - Echoes of Presence

October 10 - November 15​​

​

Carlton Gallery’s Autumn Group Exhibition – “Artistic Odysseys – Echoes of Presence” is planned for Saturday, October 10, 2-5 p.m. with light hors d’oeuvres. Enjoy this changing season in the High Country with its visual color display, cooling temperatures, rustling leaves, and earthy scents. This autumn exhibition focuses on paintings with varied subject matter in the colors of the season; decorative and functional clay, and carved wood sculpture. 

​

Exhibited paintings are by Andrew Braitman, Egidio Antonaccio, Debbie Arnold, Mary Kamerer, Amos Westmoreland, Kevin Beck, Ed Hatch, and Nicholas Stewart. Each is rendered in their signature style with compelling compositions. 

​

Toni Carlton exhibits her “Art Blessings” with a series of artwork called “Oneness of the Heart”. Each contains lyrics about oneness and healing of the world from songs she wrote while vacationing at the beach. “Oneness of the Heart” consists of writing, prayers for family members, songs from the heart, along with her handwoven weavings made on a loom built by her grandfather, Estil Carlton, from linen threads in beautiful autumn colors.

​

New gallery artist, Will Hinton, exhibits earthenware which is both decorative and functional. His ceramic platters are versatile - a wall hanging or display bowl, along with his small tapis bowls.  Hinton’s ceramics are influenced by African textiles, Gaudi’s mosaics, chintz components from India, Oribe nature elements from Japan, fluid marks from English slipware, Mimbres Native American geometry, and over-glaze components from Italian and Spanish majolica. Each piece is distinctive with a juxtaposition of an assortment of images.

​

A collection of clay sculptures, vessels, bowls, and jars by Eric Reichard, Bob Meier, Ralph Mello, and Scott Stockdale are complementary additions for this exhibition.

​

Wood sculptor, Gino Di Dio, is also a new gallery artist and exhibits abstract/figurative sculptures in various carved wood. His sculpture represents his technical understanding of wood which allows his abstracts to explore the connection of natural material and artistic expression.

​

Toni Carlton extends an invitation to everyone to visit the gallery to view this inspiring Autumn Group Exhibition which runs through November 15.
