“Slipping Away” by Rebecca Stout

One student, Rebecca Stout, will be participating in her concluding exhibit at MTSU in April and she and nine others curate, install, and host Lethologica, the fall 2016 Todd Art Gallery Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) Exhibition in Studio Art.

Murfree’s B Gallery features Ambre Stewart, a senior photography student with the MTSU College of Media and Entertainment. Entitled Blue & Grey, the work documents her five-month study of the process and procedures of the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office, Murfreesboro Police Department, Murfreesboro K-9 Unit, Murfreesboro Fire Department, Rutherford County Jail and the Citizen’s Police Academy. Intending to present a non-biased opinion, Stewart soon discovered that her subjects’ primary goals are keeping the people of Murfreesboro and Rutherford County safe and to return home to their families at the end of each shift.

All Murfree Art Gallery exhibits are free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m., closing only for weekends and federal, state, and county holidays.
