Feedback Loop: Anne Stagg and Laura Tanner

Exhibit November 4 – 27 • Anne Stagg and Laura Tanner Graham are visual artists whose work pulls from their experiences growing up in the South. Though outwardly, their work appears to be very different, one using abstraction and the other using collage with pictorial imagery, they both turn a critical eye towards the South and explore how built systems and false narratives reinforce systems of inequity and invisibility.

Opening Reception, November 4, 5-7p.m. • See it first, see it free! This event is open to the public. Come meet your neighbors and enjoy light refreshments provided by Jayne Baker.

Artist Walk & Talk, November 5, 10 a.m. • Meet the artists as they talk through their process at this free event.
