14 SELECT(IONS), featuring works from the SMGA’s Permanent Collection, is one of two student-focused exhibitions on display in the Sarah Moody Gallery of Art from March 22 to May 7. 14 SELECT(IONS) was curated by 14 graduate students who selected works from the historic collection as part of Craig Wedderspoon’s Graduate Critiques course. The second show is the MA exhibition of Zoe Fitch, a graduate student in painting, who makes large colorful quilt-like paintings and multi-media works that examine Southern domestic female gender roles.
The Permanent Collection show will be in the two front rooms of the gallery and Fitch’s paintings will take up the large back room of the gallery in Garland Hall. The public is invited to visit the gallery throughout the semester. To keep our gallery visitors and staff safe, visitors must wear masks and are limited to 15 people at a time in the gallery.
