“the Eye and the After”
August 2025 in the Center Gallery
Join the Cherokee County Arts Council in celebrating “The Eye and the After,” an extraordinary exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Kira Bursky. Following hurricane Helene in September of 2024, Kira created a visual journal through the month of October. View the exhibit in chronological order from October 1st through 31st, and process the emotions of the disaster along with the artist.
Bursky’s daily drawings from the aftermath provide a visual dialogue on mental health and shared experiences, affirming CCAC’s commitment to community and connection through the arts.
