The Floyd Center for the Arts is pleased to announce four new exhibitions on view from April 25 through July 4, featuring a curated group exhibition, a solo exhibition by Steven Kenny, a showcase of regional artisans, and a special student exhibition from Floyd Elementary School.
An opening reception for the new exhibitions will be held from 4-6 p.m. on Saturday, April 25. Admission is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
Spanning multiple gallery spaces, the exhibitions invite visitors to explore artistic process, imaginative storytelling, and the rich tradition of craftsmanship in Floyd County.
In the Hayloft Gallery, "Process | Practice" explores the often unseen stages of making — experimentation, testing, revision, and discovery. Before a work is finished, there are questions: How does the material respond? What fails? What changes? What is learned along the way? Bringing together 18 local, regional, and national artists, the exhibition reveals the thinking and problem-solving that shape each finished work. Sketches, studies, materials, and tools are presented alongside completed pieces, placing process on equal footing with outcome.
Rooted in the creative traditions of Floyd, the exhibition opens the studio to the public, inviting viewers to engage more deeply with how art is made — not just what is made.

The Falcon Gallery features "Invitation to Wonder," a solo exhibition by Steven Kenny. The beauty and mystery of both nature and the human form have long shaped Kenny’s work. His paintings explore the shifting tensions that define the human experience — between who we are and who we imagine ourselves to be, between biology and technology, and between rational thought and unconscious instinct. Blending the human figure with elements from the natural world in surreal and symbolic ways, his work reflects the complex and often ambivalent relationship between humanity and the environment, while revealing the contradictions inherent in human nature.
In the Breezeway Gallery, "The Floyd Artisan Trail Exhibition" celebrates the artists and craftspeople who shape the creative identity of Floyd County. Now in its 16th year, the Floyd Artisan Trail invites visitors into working studios to experience art where it is made.
This exhibition features 20 participating artisans working across disciplines such as woodworking, ceramics, fiber arts, leatherworking, and painting. Rooted in Appalachian traditions and inspired by the Blue Ridge landscape, these works reflect both heritage and innovation. The 2026 Floyd Artisan Trail takes place Saturday, June 20 (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.), and Sunday, June 21 (noon to 5 p.m.), offering a unique opportunity to meet artists, see demonstrations, and purchase work directly from makers. Bringing these artists together in one space, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the Trail experience — celebrating craftsmanship, creativity, and the strong sense of community that defines Floyd’s vibrant arts culture.
Our store offers a selection of lumber, roofing material, insulation, plumbing fixtures, electrical components, and conveniently located five minutes outside the town of Floyd.
Also on view, "Beyond the Art Room: Creating Skills for Life" features award-winning student artwork from the Floyd Elementary School Art Exhibit. This pop-up exhibition highlights creativity, growth, and the development of skills that extend beyond the classroom, offering a glimpse into the imagination and artistic achievements of young artists in the Floyd community.
Together, these four exhibitions, sponsored by Finn Graphics, offer visitors an engaging experience across multiple artistic perspectives, united by a shared spirit of curiosity, craftsmanship, and creative exploration.
