“COLLECTive Concerns” is now on view at Piedmont Arts.

Featuring work by 12 artists, this collection explores collage and assemblage as a coping mechanism, a siren call, or a cautionary warning about collective concerns that impact our culture.

Each artist presents a unique collection of works, assembled from discarded yet highly curated materials.

“COLLECTive Concerns” features work by:
Judy Bowman, Elaine Crivelli, Kristy Deetz, Virginia Derryberry, Reni Gower, Craig Hill, Errin Ironside, Sue Johnson, Axelle Kieffer, Edwin Shelton, Alexandra N Sherman, and Michele Stutts.

Organized by Wylie Contemporary | Curated by Reni Gower

This exhibit is sponsored by:
Katie and Jack Adkins, Lucy Coleman, Olivia and Pres Garrett, Gale and Will Gravely, Melody Margrave, Helen S. and Charles G. Patterson Jr. Charitable Foundation Trust, Lynwood Artists, and What’s Your Sign.

Piedmont Arts is open Tuesday-Saturday, 10am-5pm. Admission free.
