The exhibition will be on view from Jan. 24-Feb. 27 at the Smith Gallery located in the Schaefer Center for the Performing Arts and Feb. 7- March 22 at TCVA on King Street.

imgresPresenting this exhibition at two venues simultaneously enables visitors to experience a wider range of artworks in a variety of media including painting, sculpture, metal, fiber, photography, printmaking, drawing, clay, video, digital media, installation and public interventions.
