Gallery Season Kicks Off with Take on Childrens Classic
Artist Sean Hennessey will open the season for the College of Southern Marylands Tony Hungerford Memorial Art Gallery with his exhibit of Alice Revisioned, on the La Plata Campus, Sept. 8 through Oct. 3.
Hennesseys exhibit is a mixed-multimedia series based on Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. The approach adds a visceral reaction while also maintaining the dreamlike magic and wonder evident in the books.
Hennessey will be available at noon on Sept. 16 for a free gallery talk. The talk is open to CSM students as well as the community as an opportunity to meet the artist and discuss his work.
While I can teach students the technical tools and crafts that they need to be able to articulate their visual ideas, the gallery talks bring artists like Sean Hennessey from all over the country, to give students a feel for the challenges and rewards for professional artists. Our exhibitors not only share their work, but also their experience and their artistic vision with our students and local artists in Southern Maryland, said CSM Assistant Professor Katherine Sifers, who is curator for the Tony Hungerford Memorial Art Gallery.
The gallery is located in the Fine Arts Building, with hours of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday; and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Both the gallery and the gallery talk are free to attend.
