Exhibition | Gary Lichtenstein: Painter and Master Painter

On view November 15th,2025-January 11th, 2026

Admission free for members, $5 for non-members

Gary Lichtenstein is a visionary in abstract painting and silkscreen printmaking, known for his bold use of color and fearless experimentation. His 200+ oil-based paintings explore light, color, and visual impact, embodying the principles of abstract expressionism. Equally influential is his 45-year career in silkscreen, collaborating with over 100 artists and pushing the medium’s expressive possibilities—early inspiration came from rock poster artist Bob Fried, whose psychedelic prints for bands like Pink Floyd and the Grateful Dead expanded the boundaries of screen printing. This exhibition highlights works from Lichtenstein and his collaborators, including Cey Adams, Futura, Robert Indiana, Jessica Stockholder, and more. His work is held in major collections, including MoMA, SFMOMA, the Smithsonian, and the Art Institute of Chicago.

The Athens Theatre Company Presents Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn

Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin, Book by Gordon Greenberg and Chad Hodge

“One farmhouse. A year of holidays. And a Christmas to remember.”

Celebrate the magic of Christmas with Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn—a heartwarming holiday treat packed with show-stopping dance numbers, dazzling costumes, and a treasure trove of timeless tunes. When Broadway performer Jim leaves the bright lights behind for a quiet Connecticut farmhouse, he ends up transforming his home into a seasonal inn, open only on the holidays. But with love in the air, rivalries heating up, and performances for every festivity, the holidays get a lot more exciting than he ever imagined. Featuring 20 beloved Irving Berlin classics—including “White Christmas,” “Happy Holiday,” “Blue Skies,” and “Cheek to Cheek”—this delightful musical delivers all the laughter, romance, and seasonal sparkle of a Christmas card come to life.

Presented through special arrangement with Concord Theatricals
