SUMMARY:When Light Returns
DESCRIPTION:Mark Bettis Gallery is pleased to announce a new group exhibition\, When Light Returns\, starting April 11th through April 25th 2026. The exhibition draws inspiration from the arrival of spring and the quiet\, powerful renewal that follows winter’s slumber. \nWhen Light Returns explores themes of rebirth\, growth\, and awakening. As the days lengthen and warmth returns\, flowers emerge from thawed ground\, animals stir from rest\, and insects hatch—each beginning again in cycles both delicate and resilient. The works in this exhibition reflect these moments of transformation\, capturing the beauty of emergence and the promise of new beginnings. Through a variety of styles and mediums\, participating artists interpret spring not only as a season\, but as a metaphor for hope\, restoration\, and the persistence of life. \n​The exhibition will be shown at the Mark Bettis Gallery’s River Arts District location from April 11th through April 25th\, 2026 during normal business hours. There will be no opening night. \nMark Bettis Gallery hours are Monday – Thursday 10am to 4pm\, Friday and Saturday 10am to 5pm\, Sundays 11pm-3pm. The gallery is located in the River Arts District at 123 Roberts Street\, Asheville NC 28801. The gallery features unique and distinctive works of art in a variety of mediums including contemporary paintings\, glass\, sculpture\, and mixed media.\nFor more information about the exhibition and the gallery please visit markbettisgallery.com or contact the gallery at 828-660-4968 or markdbettis@gmail.com
