Nashville, Tennessee
(615) 244-3340
The Frist Center for the Visual Arts, in Nashville, will host this exhibition featuring 26 drawings by four members of the Southeastern College Art Conference, an organization of art faculty committed to promoting the importance of art in higher education and in the broader community. The show was conceived as a counterpoint to the concurrently running exhibition "Color as Field: American Painting 1950-1975," in which form and content are unified through the broad application of brightly colored areas of paint. "Shades of Gray" features work done in gray, black, and white, created with charcoal, silverpoint, and graphite, among other media. The artists featured in the exhibition are Kell Black, Sue Mulcahy, Jane Allen Nodine, and Carol Prusa.
