"City of Music" by Diane Stockard on display at Murfree Gallery "B" this month.

The MTSU Department of Art’s Student Gallery Committee (SGC) invites the public to the Murfree Gallery for a reception this Friday, Nov. 21 from 3–4 p.m. Located on the second floor of the Rutherford County Office Building at 319 N. Maple Street in the Rutherford County Property Assessor’s office, the exhibit features an ongoing project between the department’s Todd Art Gallery and Assessor Rob Mitchell.

In Murfree’s chamber A the project features artwork by a number of art majors who include Kandace Lovett, Holly Hagan, Chloe Campbell, Kari Owen, and Sarah Al-Ansari. Murfree’s B chamber offers up the exciting and intoxicating work of arts advocate and artist Diane Stockard, a cachet painter among Murfreesboro’s burgeoning pantheon of contemporary artists.

Members of the Student Gallery Committee include Erin Porter, Kelsey Rogers, Rachael Smith, Angelica Bennett, Joseph Blackmon, Kristin Denny, Amber M. Lancaster, Maija Champion, Jane Kim, Rickie Le, Brittnay Moses, Melody Tang, Erin Potter, Travis Washington, Russel White, Erin Aliquo, Robert Brzozowski, Amber Lelli, and Mika Mollenkopf. Representing all areas of the department, the SGC offers students the opportunity to gain experience with exhibit installation and display, curatorial knowledge, and the chance to publicly exhibit their work and the work of fellow classmates and associates.

All Murfree Gallery exhibits and receptions are free and open to the public. Hours: Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
