A spring and summerville filled with oodles of art

ArtFields 2025 / we hit the road

The Cowboy Myth / Kristi Ryba at Corrigan Gallery 

It's been a while since my last blog and I need to get the new works posted, but I always like to include what I've seen and what influences my paradigm. The art has been engaging and thought provoking. From ArtFields, to Public Works Art Center, to the Gibbes and Corrigan Gallery. A feast! 

ArtFields welcomes artists from the Southern states and there is a lot to see. Nice to see how it has evolved. 

PWAC / Reflections on Coexsistance / Hirona Matsuda

This show really packed a wallop. It tugs at nostalgia and showcases sterotypes that become alarming. Her attention to detail is amazing. 

The Gibbes Museum of Art / Picturing Freedom:
​Harriet Tubman and the Combahee River Raid

Hirona's work is always beautifully and thoughtfully created. Many moving parts brings visitors right in to look, listen and participate. On view til July 12, 2025.

This show begs a visit before and after reading COMBEE: Harriet Tubman, the Combahee River Raid, adn the Black Freedom during the Civil War by Carnegie Mellon University historian, Edda Fields-Black, Ph.D. After escaping slavery she traveled back into the fire. On view through October 5, 2025.
