Opening Reception: Embellished Moments & The Dark Show

  • Starworks 100 Russell Drive Star, NC, 27356 United States (map)

Join us at Starworks for a special double exhibition opening reception celebrating two bold and inspiring shows:

Embellished Moments features new work by our 2024–2025 ceramic interns — Sarah Dassouki, David Kwak, and Reese Nguyen — as they conclude their time at Starworks. Over the past year, these emerging artists have explored wild clays, honed new techniques, supported visiting residents, and played an essential role in our studio community. Their work reflects the depth of that experience and the energy of what’s next.

The Dark Show is a new Starworks exhibition spotlighting luminous, light-emitting, and light-bending works across a range of media. Mysterious, radiant, and at times playful, the show invites viewers to consider how light shapes form, perception, and space.

Reception Highlights:

  • Meet featured artists

  • Explore both stunning exhibitions

  • Enjoy complimentary hors d'oeuvres

  • Drinks available from the Starworks Café & Taproom

  • Connect with artists and fellow creatives

This is a free community event, open to all. Whether you're here for the ceramics, the light-based installations, or just good company, we hope you'll join us to celebrate these two exciting shows and the close of our interns’ residency.
