Join us for Vernissage, an exhibition preview series, on Thursday, October 22nd from 5-8pm. We're celebrating the opening of "In These Mountains: Traditional Appalachian Art Today". Vernissage will coincide with Material Obsession; a KMAC Shop exhibition. Admission for this event is $8 at the door and FREE for KMAC Members.

In partnership with South Arts, "In These Mountains: Traditional Appalachian Art Today" presents a dynamic survey of artists who participated in the Emerging Traditional Artists Program, a program that provides financial support and professional development for artists in Appalachian Regional Commission counties in the Southeast to ensure the continuation of traditional art and culture in Appalachia. The exhibition highlights artists whose practices sit along a spectrum of traditional methods and contemporary exploration.

This exhibition is guest curated by Taylor Dooley Burden, Director of Traditional Arts at South Art, and features work by Delia Fian, Candace Mullins, Roxie Fricton, Micah Wiles, Brian Melton, Skye Tafoya, Katie Bister, Orlando Corona, Edy Aguilar, and Amanda Banks.

"The Visionary Art of Minnie Evans" is on view though Sunday, October 4th. Minnie Evans pursued art later in life following a vision in which she was told to “draw or die.” Deeply religious, she believed that God occupied the flora and fauna that surrounded her. Through her depictions, she combined the world around her with her dreams and visions, revealing an alternate reality where humans mingled amongst spirits, plants and animals, and the omnipresent eye of God.

Celebrate the closing of this exhibition during the Art & Spirituality Panel on Sunday, October 4th at 2pm, led by Ramona Dallum and featuring insights from Alayna Altman, Dr. Jabani Bennett, Jon Cherry, Gray Henry, and Sirene Martin. Learn more at kmacmuseum.org/artist-talks-workshops.

Join us for an artist reception celebrating the work of local collage artist Teri Dryden this Thursday, October 1st from 5-8pm. Tickets are available at kmacmuseum.org/kmac-shop.

In a world saturated with constant noise and visual overstimulation, Dryden's creative practice delves into the Japanese concept of "Ma," celebrating the beauty of negative space. "This aesthetic, integral to Japanese culture", she writes, "embodies the idea that the empty intervals between objects, sounds, or moments are just as vital as the active elements, allowing room for balance, harmony, and deeper meaning in life."
