The Murfreesboro Center for the Arts will host “Inside Out,” an exhibition featuring new landscape-based paintings and drawings by Glenn Merchant. This show, on display throughout September, features a group of work executed this past year. These color-filled landscapes hover between being incomplete sketches and fully realized pieces. The works explore the psychological tension between suburban sprawl and rural memory, between real space and the imagined.
Glenn Merchant was born in Chicago and grew up in Tennessee. He earned his BFA in painting from Middle Tennessee State University. Along with being a practicing artist, Merchant is an active visiting artist and arts organizer. He is also the owner of Moxie Art Supply in downtown Murfreesboro.
An opening reception will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 11, from 5–7 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.
The Center for the Arts is located at 110 W. College St., Murfreesboro, (615) 904-ARTS.
