BC Hosts Opening Reception and Presentation for McArthur Freeman II Art Exhibition

Brevard College will host an opening reception and presentation for artist McArthur Freeman II on Friday, January 23.


The opening reception for Freeman's exhibit, "Just My ‘Magination," will be held from 5:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. at Brevard College's Spiers Gallery in the Sims Art Center.

Freeman is best known for his narrative paintings, drawings and installations exploring race, double consciousness and the construction of identity. His images are described as a synthesis of children's book illustrations, fairy tales and invented characters with historical narratives, images from popular culture and social critique that create a wonderland like world that has gone disturbingly awry, but is seductively beautiful.


Gallery hours are 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. weekdays when the College is in session. The exhibit will be on display until February 20.
