The Block Gallery of Raleigh has an exhibition curated by Scott Hazard, an artist and current City of Raleigh Artist in Residence for Nature Preserves. The exhibition, “plants, and birds, and rocks (and things)” features pieces by NC artists Claire Alexandre, Annie Blazejack + Geddes Levenson, Julia Einstein, and Janet Link. Learn more about each artist before you visit.

Through their work, each artist explores nature versus cultivation, and dystopian aspects of our cultures, societies, histories, and landscapes.
