Current Exhibit: Two Artists, Two Creative Worlds

These two distinctive exhibits run from August 22, 2026 - October 08, 2026 at the Kennedy Art Centerfeaturing artists Bryan Ballinger and Beth Hornocker.

Experience the playful, imaginative, and wonderfully unexpected world of Bryan Ballinger in Breadwig’s Whimsical World of Whatever. A former VeggieTales artist, Bryan fills the gallery with quirky characters, peculiar creatures, whimsical sculptures, humor, and the kind of creativity that invites visitors of all ages to simply have fun with art. Alongside Bryan’s exhibition, Beth Hornocker presents Rediscovering Beth, offering a deeply personal and distinctive body of work that reveals another side of artistic exploration and expression.
