      A blue-green graphic with a white clock hand illustration and text that reads: The Gulfport Arts Center Presents: CHRONOS A Community Art Exhibition Join us for the opening reception of a new group exhibition at our studio centered around the theme of
      Chronos: A Community Art Exhibition

      Opening Reception: October 30th @ 5pm – 6:30pm
      Show Dates: 10/30/26 – 12/5/26

      Join us for the opening reception of a new group exhibition at our studio centered around the theme of “time.” Chronos is the ancient Greek personification of time, and is the root of words like chronology or chronicle. As a part of the 2026 community project TimeWeaving, we asked local artists across all mediums to consider this theme in their work and they delivered in creatively portraying the passage of time as well as the relationship between past, present, and future.
