Opening Reception: "The Human Experience Project," Katy Shepard, Ph.D

  • Fine Arts Center for the New River Valley 21 West Main Street Pulaski, VA, 24301 United States (map)

Join us at the Fine Arts Center in Pulaski for the opening reception of “The Human Experience Project,” a dynamic and thought-provoking exhibition of large-scale oil works by local artist and philosopher Katy Shepard, Ph.D.

The opening reception is Thursday, October 24, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Center. Artist and Curator remarks will take place at 7 p.m. Light refreshments and a cash bar serving wine and beer will be available. The reception is open to the public.

The core of The Human Experience Project is a series of recordings from individuals sharing a significant moment in their lives. Shepard painted each work while listening to the continuous looped recordings, letting the sound and audio quality intuitively guide the brushstrokes.

Shepard’s process of intuitively translating audio narratives into visual works in “The Human Experience Project’” offers a compelling investigation into empathy shaped by personal perspective.

Don’t miss this captivating exhibition that is on view for a limited time at the Fine Arts Center in Pulaski!

The Human Experience Project is on view at the Fine Arts Center for the New River Valley in Pulaski in the Edna B. Love Gallery from Friday, October 18 through Saturday, November 23, 2024
