Patricia Barland Gallery

As part of the Chesapeake Arts Center’s 25th Anniversary celebration, the Light exhibition will explore light as both a medium and a concept, and will feature artwork that glows under UV/blacklight. CAC has illuminated pathways for artistic expression and community connection over the past 25 years, and Light is essential to how we experience art—it shapes perception, highlights detail, and creates atmosphere—but it also symbolizes something larger: clarity, possibility, and forward movement. This exhibition invites artists to step into a reimagined space—one that symbolizes innovation, experimentation, and the evolving future of the arts at CAC. In this exhibition, what was once unseen becomes visible, reminding us that the future is not fixed, but something we create together.

Light is both a celebration and a reflection—an invitation to celebrate who we are, deepen community connection, and imagine what’s next. The Light Exhibition will be on display in CAC’s Patricia Barland Gallery from June 24 to August 30, 2026.
