Featuring more than 100 works of art drawn from public and private collections across the country, it brings together a generation’s worth of scholarship.

“Where Shadows Cross: Photography by Jim Fiscus” — Iconic image maker Jim Fiscus produces layered single-frame stories that comment on human experience. 

“Sky Hopinka: Lore” — Images of friends and landscapes are cut, fragmented and reassembled on an overhead projector as hands guide their shape and construction in this video work stemming from Hollis Frampton’s 1971 experimental film “Nostalgia.”

“In Dialogue: Power Couple: Pierre and Louise Daura in Paris” — Portraits of Joaquín Torres-García’s daughters by Pierre Daura and Louise Heron Blair.

“Decade of Tradition: Highlights from the Larry D. and Brenda A. Thompson Collection” — Selections from Larry and Brenda Thompson’s gift of works by African American artists.

ATHICA: Athens Institute for Contemporary Art

ATHICA@675 Pulaski St., Suite 1200

6 – 8 p.m.: Artist-in-ATHICA sculptor Mickey Boyd hosts open studio hours for his installation in progress. Boyd’s work investigates the substructure of the contemporary built environment through replicating the forms writ large around us. In surreal facsimile constructions, he uses the same materials as those in our residential structures: dimensional lumber, drywall, insulation, found doors, and windows, calling our attention to the suffocating sameness that pervades our market-driven society.

“80s Skate Photography: J Grant Brittain” — Drawn from Brittain’s vast catalog of skate photography, the exhibition highlights images found in his monograph “Push.”

Lyndon House Arts Center

“Sanctuary: Works by Mary Engel and Cheryl Washburn” — This exhibition combines the work of two artists with a shared passion for animals. Though their media of choice differs greatly, these two artists are compassionate for and inspired by creatures of all kinds.

“The Fables, by Kristin Roberts” — Athens artist Kristin Roberts illustrates Aesop’s Fables, inspired by their combination of personal accountability, the laws of nature, and the tenuous border between life and death. 

The Athenaeum

“Paul Pfeiffer: Red Green Blue” — Often located in the heart of a city or campus, the sports stadium has the capacity to fortify national, regional or community-based models of identity. Inside, the spectator is bombarded with carefully orchestrated stimuli, immersed in a multi-sensory experience intended to incite an emotional response. In “Red Green Blue,” Paul Pfeiffer edits audio and visual recordings of the UGA Redcoat Marching Band, examining the mechanics of the performance through close-up footage of band members and their directors during and between periods of play.

The Classic Center

Galleries will be inaccessible due to an event in the gallery spaces.

“Serendipity” — Works painted by Jim Barsness and Jesse Blalock in tandem. It was serendipity when Jim Barsness and Jesse Blalock met the first time, and when Jesse’s Mustang broke down in front of Jim’s studio, it was fate. They started painting together, sharing their processes, styles and their joy of art and creating.
