For sculptor JinMan Jo, the process of creating his metal works reflects the complexities of life. Thick steel bends during forging and hammering. Thin wires worked together show interconnectedness, and weak materials, overlapping and supporting each other, become strong. Each piece makes an undeniable contribution to the whole. Working slowly and steadily, almost ceremoniously, JinMan Jo believes creating and viewing art are times of deep reflection. His work has been shown widely throughout the United States and Korea.  Sponsored by the Bramham Collins Fund

More than 30 quilts and wall hangings illustrate how Kentucky quiltmakers looked to both the past and to the future for inspiration. In the first part of the 20th century, Americans' interest in their Colonial heritage contributed to a revival in quiltmaking, yet modern trends such as Art Nouveau and Art Deco also brought a contemporary feel to the work of some quilters and pattern designers.  The revival that began around the time of the U.S. Bicentennial also had a dual effect with some quilters choosing traditional methods while others began experimenting with modern fabrics, techniques, and motifs.  This divergence in approaches continued into the 21st century.

These quilts were selected from the Kentucky Museum's nationally significant collection which numbers more than 250 quilts and textile samples.

This exhibit explores the many facets of this white oak basket tradition and honors the basketmakers connected to this important regional art form. This exhibit will run through April 8, 2017.

Cavallo, a professional artist living in New Jersey, creates dramatic, large-scale watercolors focusing on the figure. His work explores issues of human rights and champions individual voice. Exhibited works include those from his Comfort Women series, exploring the tragedy and resilience of women, many of whom were Korean, forced into sexual slavery during WWII.  In conjunction with the Year of South Korea.

The School of Journalism & Broadcasting is excited to announce the opening of a photographic and interactive exhibition of photographs that promises to change the way you look at the world.

Living On A Dollar A Day: The Lives and Faces of the World’s Poor, is a powerful and extraordinary series of photographs and profiles by Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Renée C. Byer, whose work illuminates the human faces of people who live in extreme poverty around the world. Traveling to 10 countries on four continents, Byer sought out individuals and families on the brink of survival – living on about one U.S. dollar each day.

The people in Byer’s compelling profiles share their hardships, their joys, and their dreams for the future with her. Often with little hope of changing their own destiny, they dream of something better for their children. In her searing and tender images, accompanied by stories shared by people whose trust she gained, Byer gives voice to those who would not otherwise be heard.

The exhibit will be available beginning Thursday, Feb. 16, through Friday, April 28.

Gallery Hours

Sundays - 3 to 9 p.m.

Mondays through Thursdays - 9 a.m to 9 pm.

Fridays - 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

More than 30 quilts and wall hangings illustrate how Kentucky quiltmakers looked to both the past and to the future for inspiration. In the first part of the 20th century, Americans' interest in their Colonial heritage contributed to a revival in quiltmaking, yet modern trends such as Art Nouveau and Art Deco also brought a contemporary feel to the work of some quilters and pattern designers.  The revival that began around the time of the U.S. Bicentennial also had a dual effect with some quilters choosing traditional methods while others began experimenting with modern fabrics, techniques, and motifs.  This divergence in approaches continued into the 21st century.

These quilts were selected from the Kentucky Museum's nationally significant collection which numbers more than 250 quilts and textile samples.

This exhibit explores the many facets of this white oak basket tradition and honors the basketmakers connected to this important regional art form. This exhibit will run through April 8 , 2017.

For sculptor JinMan Jo, the process of creating his metal works reflects the complexities of life. Thick steel bends during forging and hammering. Thin wires worked together show interconnectedness, and weak materials, overlapping and supporting each other, become strong. Each piece makes an undeniable contribution to the whole. Working slowly and steadily, almost ceremoniously, JinMan Jo believes creating and viewing art are times of deep reflection. His work has been shown widely throughout the United States and Korea.  Sponsored by the Bramham Collins Fund

Cavallo, a professional artist living in New Jersey, creates dramatic, large-scale watercolors focusing on the figure. His work explores issues of human rights and champions individual voice. Exhibited works include those from his Comfort Women series, exploring the tragedy and resilience of women, many of whom were Korean, forced into sexual slavery during WWII.  In conjunction with the Year of South Korea.

The School of Journalism & Broadcasting is excited to offer a photographic and interactive exhibition of photographs that promises to change the way you look at the world.

Living On A Dollar A Day: The Lives and Faces of the World’s Poor, is a powerful and extraordinary series of photographs and profiles by Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Renée C. Byer, whose work illuminates the human faces of people who live in extreme poverty around the world. Traveling to 10 countries on four continents, Byer sought out individuals and families on the brink of survival – living on about one U.S. dollar each day.

The people in Byer’s compelling profiles share their hardships, their joys, and their dreams for the future with her. Often with little hope of changing their own destiny, they dream of something better for their children. In her searing and tender images, accompanied by stories shared by people whose trust she gained, Byer gives voice to those who would not otherwise be heard.

The exhibit will be available beginning Thursday, Feb. 16, through Friday, April 28.

Gallery Hours for the Exhibit

Sundays - 3 to 9 p.m.

Mondays through Thursdays - 9 a.m to 9 pm.
