Art enthusiasts and community members are invited to immerse themselves in the vibrant and textural landscapes of Appalachia at the upcoming "Older Than Bones Reception." This special event is set to showcase the unique perspectives and artistic expressions of Chris DeMaria from Floyd, VA, and Brandy Jefferys of Huntington, WV.

The Birke Art Gallery will be the gathering place for this celebration of regional artistry. Attendees can expect to see a collection of paintings that play with the themes of kitsch and social realism, offering a nuanced look into Appalachian identity and the cultural perceptions that surround it.

This event not only marks the opening of an exhibition that will be available for viewing until June 14, 2024, but also serves as an opportunity for the community to engage with the artists and their works.

The Marshall University School of Art & Design is extending an open invitation to all who wish to join in commemorating the artistic journey of these two Appalachian artists.
