SUMMARY:Gallery Gathering: Richard Mayhew’s Mohawk Hills
DESCRIPTION:Calling all art lovers and poets! Join us for our next Gallery Gathering as we discuss Richard Mayhew’s Mohawk Hills with Jessica Sundstrom\, Learning and Outreach Manager for the Art Museum at Grand Valley State University. Guests will be invited to delve into Mayhew’s striking painting via ekphrastic and blackout poetry. Using rich colors to capture the emotional and often spiritual imprints of the places they depict\, Mayhew’s highly expressive “mindscapes” challenge many of the conventions of American landscape art. This free program will take place on Thursday\, Oct. 2\, from 5:30-6 p.m.

SUMMARY:Gallery Gatherings: Roscoe Hall and Tylonn Sawyer; Chinese Goddess Figures
DESCRIPTION:We are combining January’s planned Gallery Gathering with a rescheduled one from December! \nFirst from 5:30–6pm\, we will delve into questions of American life and identity with a discussion of Roscoe Hall’s With Great Intent to Leave It All For You and Tylonn Sawyer’s American Woman: Columbia. These pieces are paired together in Legendary Voices: Art for the Next Century for their shared focus on contemporary African American experiences. \nNext\, from 6–6:30pm\, we will gather in the Joy Light Gallery to observe a trio of figures representing Bixia Yuanjun and Guanyin. Sometimes conflated with one another\, these two Chinese goddesses are both associated with compassion\, protection\, and fertility. They differ\, however\, in their stories of origin and the ways in which they have historically been depicted in art. Together\, we will examine renderings of these goddesses in bronze\, porcelain\, and jade.

During this short monthly program\, participants will engage with ongoing exhibitions\, gathering for close observation and lightly moderated discussions of selected artworks on view in our galleries. This program is free with the cost of admission. Preregistration is encouraged. \nOur inaugural Gallery Gathering will focus on Diptych\, by Fritz Scholder.
