Calendar of Events

Re-Cover, Re-Form is an MFA alumni response to the 2023 Inaugural Tennessee Triennial theme of RE-PAIR selected by Dr. Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons. Each of these artists speak to the function of art for positive change, meaning that art can operate as a critical force in society and ultimately enhance the human experience. A variety of media are explored in this show to connect and engage the viewer in unique ways. From traditional modes of artistic expression like photography and sculpture, to those influenced by advances in digital technologies, this show evokes the vast power of art by celebrating the creative approaches of our alumni.

Exhibiting alumni artists include Chuck Ärlund (’20), Heriberto “Eddie” Palacio III (’20), Lisa Bachman Jones (’21), Maddie Ryan (’21), Danny Broadway (’22), Le Dillingham (’22), Allie Horick (’22), and Jackie Lucas (’22).
