Generations: 60 years – 21 conversations

We’re celebrating the 60th anniversary with Generations: 60 Years – 21 Conversations, an exhibition of 85 works by alumni and faculty that bear witness to the past and consider what may come. On view in Rowe Galleries Oct 8-Nov 8, this exhibition celebrates 60 years of accomplishment in the visual arts, marking the start of art-based research at UNC Charlotte and honoring the oldest of the programs in the College of Arts + Architecture. Curated by Professor of Art History Jim Frakes, Generations draws works by alumni and current faculty of the Department of Art & Art History into a thematic and visual conversation with the contributions of 21 “legacy” faculty. This exhibit is made possible in part by the Roderick MacKillop Bi-Annual Alumni Art Exhibition Fund. See the artwork featured in the exhibition by clicking through Maud Gatewood’s
