You are cordially invited to the opening receptions of two exhibitions at UMW Galleries this Thursday evening from 5 to 7 p.m. Stop by the Ridderhof Martin Gallery and duPont Gallery to see the exciting ways we are beginning this academic year! Please spread the word and share with your classes.
In Ridderhof Martin Gallery, we are pleased to share the solo exhibition Joana Stillwell: the scent of rose as it was described to me. Joana Stillwell is an internationally exhibited artist born in the Philippines, raised around the Pacific, and currently based in Washington, DC. In her work as both an artist and archivist, Stillwell considers the roles of memory and perception, asking what stories get to be told, who gets to tell those stories, and what ultimately gets preserved. Using digital and material fragments, she investigates the collapse of virtual and physical spaces, as well as the growing overlap between memories, lived environments, and digital interfaces.
In duPont Gallery, we have an incredible collection of art by our own UMW Studio Art faculty in New Currents: UMW Studio Art Faculty 2024. The quality, diversity, and depth of UMW’s Studio Art program is reflected in the artwork of its talented and dedicated faculty, including returning faculty members Lindsay Arturo, Michael Dean, Larry Hinkle, Ashe Laughlin, Margaret Meehan, Chad Mundie, Jason Robinson, and Sarah White, as well as new faculty members Coorain Devin, Christine Orr, and Abed Shalabi. Please join us in celebrating these talented artists and educators.

The exhibitions will be on view from September 5th to October 20th, 2024, in duPont Gallery and Ridderhof Martin Gallery, with opening hours Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 4pm. Admission is always free and tours are available.
