Artists’ Talk & Gallery Walk


The opening of new art exhibitions on the Sewanee campus will be marked by a panel discussion between the artists and assistant professor Jeff Thompson at 4:30 p.m., today, Feb. 22, in Convocation Hall, followed by a reception in the lobby of duPont Library at 5:45 p.m. The University Jazz Quartet will perform at the reception. “David Henderson: A Brief History of Aviation” will be on display in duPont Library and the Carlos Gallery, and “Brandon Morse: Dark Matter,” will be in the University Art Gallery.

A Gallery Walk will begin at 10:30 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 23. Visitors are invited to visit “Dark Matter” and the two parts of “A Brief History of Aviation,” and also to visit University Archives and Special Collections to see the exhibit “Plans and Changes in Sewanee’s Campus,” a collection of materials related to the revivalist architecture of the University. Participants will have the opportunity to meet the artists and explore the dialogue between the four exhibitions and the campus. Light refreshments will be provided.

“A Brief History of Aviation” and the Gallery Walk are made possible in part by the generous support of the Friends of the University Art Gallery. For more information call 598-1223 or go to <gallery.sewanee.edu/>.
