"Traces"– Art Exhibition by Lelia Byron
Byron creates a visual narrative, showing how people define home through care, memory, and shared responsibility in an era marked by polarization, instability, and uneven access to resources. The paintings explore topics ranging from creating a community food garden and restoring a historic Underground Railroad safehouse to environmental concerns, foster care, and the importance of creativity.
Traces will be open to viewing in Main Gallery at Memorial Union from September 25th, 2026 through November 13th, 2026. The gallery is open from 8am - 10pm, Monday through Sunday. (with the exception of holiday/winter closures)
Roughhousing with Eadweard - Art Exhibition by Deb Dila
Dila has layered and manipulated photographs of the ground-breaking motion studies of Eadweard Muybridge. By layering his sequences into single images, the flow and passion of movement is reanimated. The artist works to create a mythological undercurrent in these single-frame animations, intensifying a sculptural elegance in these figures.
This exhibition will be open to viewing in the Class of 1925 Gallery at Memorial Union from September 25th, 2026 through November 13th, 2026. The gallery is open from 8am - 10pm, Monday through Sunday. (with the exception of holiday/winter closures)
Transmitters - Art Exhibition by John Harlan Norris
How does one transmit a message across an impenetrable divide? And can the language of painting send such a message when all other forms of communication have been lost? These questions are at the core of this body of work, which investigates a personal experience of suicide bereavement.
Like grief itself, the artist characterized the process of making these paintings as interwoven contradictions. Private and public, disarray and order, flatness and texture, and absence and presence all speak in equal measure, creating a tension that defines each work. By engaging with this work, the artist invites viewers into an opportunity to connect with their own experience of grief and find some small solace in this shared experience.
Transmitters will be open to viewing in Gallery 1308 at Union South from September 18th, 2026 through November 6th, 2026. The gallery is open from 8am - 10pm, Monday through Sunday. (with the exception of holiday/winter closures)
