To celebrate 30 years of the Belk Visual Arts Center, the Van Every/Smith Galleries will present Homecoming: Art by Alumni, a group exhibition highlighting diverse visual art practices of nine accomplished artists. The exhibition recognizes each alum’s individual explorations while also highlighting a common thread: an emphasis on the visibility and physicality of the artist’s hand. Drawing on practices that rely on seeking, selecting, composing, arranging, and manipulating, the works presented – photographs, sculptures, paintings, digital art, and mixed media works – evoke a tangible connection to and deep reliance on process and materials in the communication of each artist’s unique conceptual ideas.
