The Union Art Gallery, curated by Les Malamut, proudly presents “EYES WIDE OPEN” 2025, an exhibition by artist Charles W. Smith. The gallery will run from September 6 to September 15. A central focus of the show is the depiction of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center Twin Towers, with its timing in September coinciding with the anniversary of the pivotal event.
Smith’s collection features four abstract paintings highlighting the importance of the day. In addition to the World Trade Center Series, the exhibit covers various topics, including Ukraine’s resistance to Russian invasion, the 2016 Presidential Election, and other social, political, and environmental issues. The theme, “Eyes Wide Open,” underscores the artist’s belief that visual artists reflect, record, and comment on societal issues across time—past, present, and future.
The public is invited to a free “Meet the Artist” event at the Union Arts Center on Saturday, September 6, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This is an excellent opportunity to tour the exhibition and meet the artist, Charles W. Smith.
