The Department of Art’s Catherine J. Smith Gallery and the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts collaborate to present this exhibition of new work from the faculty of Appalachian State University’s Department of Art. This year’s guest curator is Melissa Post, currently a curator with The Museum of Glass, Tacoma, WA. Post recently served as the Assistant Director for the Center for Craft, Creativity & Design in Hendersonville, NC, and served curatorial roles at both The Corning Museum of Glass and at the Mint Museum of Craft + Design.
Faculty exhibitions provide a great opportunity for students to view and discuss artwork produced by their teachers. They also give other faculty at Appalachian State and the Boone community a chance to engage with the many ideas and practices being explored and taught within the Department of Art.
