SGCI Juried Members Exhibition and Visual Elegy in The Gallery at UTA

Adjudicated by internationally-recognized artist Jane Hammond, the Southern Graphics Council International Juried Members Exhibition is a selection of 49 diverse artworks chosen for exhibition from entries submitted by the SGCI membership. Technically and conceptually wide-ranging, the show offers an impressive visual experience celebrating printmaking and the graphic arts. Visual Elegy, showing concurrently with the members exhibition, is a print portfolio created in response to Appalachian Elegy, a book of poetry written by bell hooks, a well-known author, activist, feminist and artist. The exhibition, organized by Kentucky artist and professor Nicole Hand, features works by 25 women artists whose images are contemplative reflections on hooks’ poetry and life.
