The Batesville Area Arts Council is pleased to present Navigate by Reckoning, an exhibition by Claudia Wilburn, at the BAAC Gallery on Main (226 E Main St) through November 16, 2019. This interactive exhibition features mixed media prints and paintings of the artist’s ancestors.
Wilburn is an artist and professor of art and design at Benau University in Gainesville, GA. Much of her art is autobiographical, drawing from life experiences, emotional journeys and memorabilia. The work in this exhibition is drawn from another element: oral histories. Wilburn’s hope is that when viewing these artworks of her ancestors, you are reminded of your own historical connection to your forebears and the stories shared that connect us all.
The gallery reception for this exhibition will be held on Friday, November 15, from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m., with a brief artist talk at 6 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Tuesday – Friday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
