Upcoming….




The Thomas Stevens Gallery celebrates its 10th year anniversary in 2025, and we’re planning a spectacular year of presenting remarkable art!

Aug 29-Sept 27 ~ 3rd annual show of
whimsy, delight, and whatever,
Mostly Harmless

On July 7th tropical storm Chantal dropped massive amounts of water on central NC, resulting in flash flooding in our area. The Eno Arts Mill was under several feet of water, devastating the artist studios, gallery, and classroom. The community is pulling together to keep key art programs going, including art summer camps, Uproar, the Common Good exhibit and fundraiser. We are altering our schedule so we can host Paint In Orange plein air exhibit at the Thomas Stevens Gallery, opening event on First Fridays, October 3rd.

Stay tuned, put Last Fridays on your calendar….we’re anticipating a fabulous year!
