Push and Pull: New Work
Feb 14 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Solomon Gallery of the Artists Collective

Spartanburg artist Robert Urban’s latest mixed media works use trees “as a metaphor for family and the relationships we all hold dear within the family circle and beyond.” The contemporary landscapes will be shown in the “Push & Pull: New Work” exhibit Jan. 7 through Feb. 22, 2025, in the Solomon Gallery of the Artists Collective | Spartanburg.

An artist’s reception will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 16, as part of Spartanburg ArtWalk. The reception and exhibition viewing are free and open to the public. The 30-plus pieces in the show will be offered for purchase with prices ranging from $150 to $5,000.

“Nature, and specifically trees, are used as metaphors to represent the passage of time, within nature itself, of course, but also within our human relationships – our family, friends and communities,” says Urban, originally from Wisconsin. “The exhibition title refers to the many different forces and ways that we experience either a ‘push’ or a ‘pull’ – our interactions within nature, relationships and our communities.”

Jane Anger
Feb 14 @ 8:00 pm
The Warehouse Theatre

Play by Talene Monahon

Directed by Anne Kelly Tromsness

It’s 1606. William Shakespeare is plagued…with writer’s block.  And also the actual plague, as he is holed up with his apprentice Francis without anything to do.  Through the window climbs Jane Anger, a writer with a dream to change history.  While Jane convinces Shakespeare to write KING LEAR, Anne Hathaway (his wife, not the one from DEVIL WEARS PRADA) arrives, having missed her husband for the past 10 years.  Constricted to one room, what creativity and conflict will explode between these four? Can Shakespeare write his masterpiece?  Will Francis be allowed to act in it despite his age (anywhere from 15 to 40, we’re totally not sure and he doesn’t seem to be either)?  Will Jane get to publish her masterpiece?  Will anyone ever respect Anne Hathaway?

Shows on Thur, Fri, and Sat are at 8pm. Shows on Sunday are 3pm.

Non-Musical: $35
Musical: $40
Reserved: Additional $5
