Emily Holmes Solo Exhibit
Visitors can expect to encounter colorful mixed-media paintings, optical effects, hidden imagery, textured glass, and experimental pieces that change depending on where you stand or how you engage with them. Blending influences from art, science, psychology, and design thinking, the exhibition invites viewers to slow down, look closer, and question how we interpret the world around us. Many of the works incorporate playful hands-on elements and evolving visual experiences that reveal new perspectives over time.
There will be an opening reception on Friday, July 3 from 6pm to 8pm, where visitors can meet Emily and view her work. The opening reception is during downtown Manteo's First Friday festivities, and is free and open to the public.
The Perception Project will be on display in the Vault Gallery July 4-August 1, 2026.
