Art by Susan Currie (Press Release) Aug. 29, 2025 (WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.) – The Armory Art Center is preparing for two new exhibitions this fall, celebrating colors and shapes, nature, and true transformation. The exhibitions run Sept. 2–Oct. 25, 2025 and are free and open to the public. “Between Form and Feeling” features works by Heather Couch, Renée Rey, and Terre Rybovich. These Florida-based artists explore the instinctive pull of body, material, and myth through tactile sculpture, ethereal painting, and embodied drawing. “colorforms” is a retrospective of West Palm Beach visual artist Susan Currie’s abstract edge color expressions. Works on panel, stretched cotton canvas, and diamond polished acrylic blocks channel the cheer Currie experiences while communing with the natural world and the coastline of South Florida.
“These exhibitions are the perfect way to celebrate the start of a strong 2025-2026 arts season in Palm Beach County,” said Jill Brown, Armory Art Center CEO. “The diverse skills and big ideas embodied in these works are inspiring. We invite the public to join us this fall as we celebrate this talented group of professional artists.” The Armory will host an opening reception for the exhibitions on Sept. 18, 2025 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. It is free and open to the public. Exhibition-Inspired Events The Armory Art Center will also host a series of free events that invites the public to further engage with the two exhibitions, including an immersive meditation session, a panel discussion, and an artist demo: Exhale: The Power of Meditation in the Creative Life Saturday, Sept. 27 at 10:30 a.m. Led by Elaine Pomfrey, a senior teacher and co-director of the Transcendental Meditation Center of Palm Beach and Susan Currie, the artist behind “colorforms,” participants will enjoy a relaxing conversation that weaves together the impact of meditation on creativity, and the science and mechanics of meditative practice. The discussion will be followed by an introductory meditation and Q&A. This event offers a fresh perspective on how mindfulness can enhance engagement with art and unlock greater creative potential. Space is limited to 30 people. Please bring comfortable clothing and a cushion or mat. Registration is required at armoryart.org.

Artist Demo Saturday, Oct.18 (10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.) Exhibiting artist Heather Couch will guide guests through a demonstration of her artistic process, techniques, and skills. This workshop allows attendees to observe her mixed media and ceramics methods, allowing guests to potentially learn new skills and gain insights into the creative practice.
