(Original Event Information)
Join us for a Closing Reception of Shapeshifters: Select Works by Joshua Adams and Jiha Moon.
The exhibition features over forty works by Joshua Adams (Cherokee, NC) and Jiha Moon (Atlanta, GA). Adams’ and Moon’s works defy conventional categorization and shift misconceptions of their respective identities by skillfully combining surfaces and symbols. The mask is just one format that these artists use, yet it provides a valuable lens into understanding their broader art practice.
This event is free and open to all. Remarks at 6:45 pm. Light refreshments will be served. This is an accessible event.
We are monitoring the impact of COVID-19 (coronavirus) in our community and are in daily contact with our local, state, and federal partners.

On the recommendation of our local health department, there have been no scheduling changes to our event and program. We expect staff who are feeling ill to stay home and request that participants who are ill not attend our event. We will provide ongoing updates as necessary.
