Join us on January 15, 2025 from 5 – 7PM at Laney Contemporary as we embark on the first of many events to raise awareness and funds for ARTS Southeast’s forthcoming Ossabaw Island Artist Residency.

For the last fifteen years, Betsy Cain has spent countless hours meditating on the horizons and grasslands, sawtooth palms and hammocks on Ossabaw Island as a way to honor Ossabaw matriarch, Eleanor “Sandy” Torrey West, and the impact she and the island have had on Cain’s life. These en plein air meditations have resulted in over 100 lyrical drawings made in ink.

To further honor West’s legacy, all proceeds from the exhibition benefit ARTS Southeast’s upcoming Ossabaw Island Artist Residency Program.

Betsy Cain: Ossabaw Meditations, 2010 – 2024, is on display from January 15 – 25, 2025.
