A public reception for a Johnson City artist whose contemporary exhibit is on display atTusculum Universityhas been rescheduled for November.
The community is invited to a closing reception for “The Great Southern Box Show” Thursday, Nov. 7, from 5-7 p.m. in the Clem Allison Art Gallery. The exhibit, developed by artist Katie Murphy, is also available for viewing from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. weekdays through Friday, Nov. 8. The reception and closing dates occur during Tusculum’sHomecomingcelebration.
Originally, the reception was scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 10 and the exhibit was slated to run through Friday, Oct. 25, but both were moved to the November dates in response to Hurricane Helene.
“The Great Southern Box Show” examines Murphy’s familial and cultural heritage. She paints on corrugated boxes, a product her father and grandfather have sold during their careers. She has assembled these boxes since her childhood.
Murphy describes her artistic practice as living in a world informed by figuration and abstraction. She said meaningful relationships in her personal life inspire her artistry.
The reception and daytime visits are free. Tusculum’s Center for the Arts welcomes donations to support the various programs it offers. The gallery is located on the main floor of Annie Hogan Byrd Fine Arts Center and near the Marilyn duBrisk Theatre.
