The Lamar Dodd School of Art launched the 2022-2023 season of exhibitions at the Dodd Galleries with the return of the Art Party Extravaganza on Friday September 16. Students, faculty, alumni, and the general public viewed five new exhibitions, chatted with our Master's in Fine Arts candidates during open studios, explored zine and art book activities at the UGA Art Library, and were serenaded by electronic musician Libba Loops at the School's main building.

Exhibitions and Artwork Commission

In the Margie E. West Gallery, artists Yevgeniya Baras and Pete Schulte create a broader dialogue on abstraction, line, and color as it coincides in contemporary painting and drawing. This exhibition was organized by The Gallery at Heimbold Visual Arts Center, Sarah Lawrence College and will be on view through November 10, 2022.
 
The Bridge Gallery will feature Intangible Memories, works by MFA candidate in ceramics Huey Lee, who investigates the condition of clay and how it exists as a relic of his emotional record expressed as a visual language. The exhibition will be on view through October 13, 2022.
 
Interdisciplinary artist and MFA candidate Meredith Emery will present the exhibition standing by the fall in the Suite Gallery, wherein Emery considers the entanglement of the individual, ecological communities, and institutions in the climate crisis. The exhibition will be on view through October 13, 2022.
 
Absurd Construction is an exhibition disguised as an experimental construction site. The installation, created by MFA candidates Rachel Seburn and Ethan Snow, foregrounds alternative building practices that investigate experimental applications for various materials. The exhibition will be on view through October 13, 2022.
 
Atlanta-based artist Madora Frey presents a site-specific installation in the Plaza Gallery at the entryway of the School of Art in the latest commission for the series “Wall Works.” The commission will be on view through November 14, 2022.

About Open Studios
