The Art Gallery at Volunteer State Community College is showing the work of Nashville artists Caroline Allison and Lain York in March. The York exhibit is titled Ruins. “My work in this show continues to be influenced by architecture, landscape, memory, and finding a sense of place of the world. Having grown up in middle Tennessee, I have seen a lot of change- particularly in the past 13 years,” York said.
The Allison display is titled They Were There For Everyone. “Building upon earlier investigations of our environment, the images in this exhibition are comprised of large scale color photographs of the landscape, cyanotype photograms, and images that have been reworked and covered in salt crystals,” Allison said.
The exhibit is free. It will be on display until April 1. The gallery is located on the first floor of the Steinhauer-Rogan-Black (SRB) Humanities Building on the Gallatin campus at 1480 Nashville Pike. It is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, please contact the Vol State Gallery manager at jason.lascu@volstate.edu or call 615-230-3200.
