At the Colonial Arts Center

Now through February 28 — “My Photo Finish,” a solo exhibition by local photographer Al Tucker, is on display in the Gallery. Tucker’s work captures the beauty of West Virginia’s landscapes and nature, reflecting a passion he discovered later in life after a distinguished Air Force career. Gallery hours: Fridays and Saturdays, 4-8 p.m. All events are free and open to the public.

February 25 — Join us at 6 p.m. at the Colonial Arts Center for a TreCosta Entertainment film about addiction, recovery and hope. The story follows Lucas Waller, whose dependence on prescription pain medication pulls his family into a fight for understanding and healing. His father, Pastor Daniel Waller, confronts stigma and seeks help as their community faces the realities of the opioid crisis. This screening challenges misconceptions and calls us to compassion. Sponsored by the Buckhannon Police Department, City of Buckhannon, FOP Lodge #114, Rotary Club of Buckhannon-Upshur and the Deputy Sheriff’s Association. Free and open to the public.
