About the event
The Southern Missouri Arts Connection (SMAC) will host a solo exhibit of the work of Artist-In-Residence, Audra Welch, entitled I Am Not A Bug. The show will run August 1-30 at the SMAC Art Center, 7 Downing Street, in historic Hollister, MO.
This exhibit is a collection of acrylic paintings that use insect imagery as a lens to contemplate life, death, and the fleeting nature of existence. Each piece asks the viewer to “reflect on how they’re spending their short time here — with the unsettling realization that I, or we, are the bugs,” says Welch about her work. Colorful and lively, in bright pinks and orange hues, the artworks carry a darker meaning to be interpreted by the viewer.
The opening reception will be on Friday evening, August 1, from 6-9 p.m. Both the exhibit and reception are free and open to the public. Attendees may view the exhibit,…
