The Department of Art & Art History and Rowe Galleries present a reception for two concurrent exhibitions: Manifest Destiny: Paintings by Bill Rutherfoord and Oddly Familiar: Photography by Amy Herman. The shows are on display October 1 through November 1.

Virginia-based artist Bill Rutherfoord’s large paintings are allegorical and satirical comments on American history (specifically Southern tradition) that intertwine literary narratives and cultural symbolism. Manifest Destiny will be the debut of six new paintings that subtly critique American colonialism in light of the current political climate.

Amy Herman is co-director of Goodyear Arts in Charlotte’s Camp North End. Her photographs look at family relationships and the act of generational inheritance.
