Willow Rea Temple Exhibit: Little Worlds and Ephemeral Life
October 3 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
In October our Vault Gallery will feature paintings by Willow Rea Temple. The month-long exhibit, “Little Worlds and Ephemeral Life”, is a nod to the bittersweet notes of nostalgia. This series of paintings was inspired by vintage photos of local life with many photo references being sourced from the Outer Banks History Center and others found in friends and family photo albums.
Willow uses a variety of mediums and bold colors to weave new tales into past life, making each image a timeless reminder of the brevity of youth. As you look at each character depicted, imagine all the different “little worlds” they live in. Many of our life experiences are unique, but most of them are shared, connecting us all to each other.
There will be an opening reception on Friday, October 3 from 6pm to 8pm, where visitors can meet Willow and view her work. The opening reception is during downtown Manteo’s First Friday festivities, and is free and open to the public.
Little Worlds and Ephemeral Life will be on display in the Vault Gallery October 3 – November 1, 2025.
