Origins<\/p><\/div>\n

A retrospective of artwork from Mary Washington alumni and faculty past and present will be featured in one of two exhibitions hosted by the UMW Galleries, beginning on Thursday, Feb. 6. The other will honor the legacy of a former professor who was instrumental in cultivating the University\u2019s art collection.<\/p>\n

The exhibits, Origins: UMW Ceramics Faculty and Alumni<\/em> in the duPont Gallery, and Julien Binford: A Legacy of Inspiration & Enterprise<\/em> in the Ridderhof Martin Gallery, will open with receptions from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Origins<\/em>, which will be on display through March 29, showcases the diverse artwork of faculty and alumni from the University of Mary Washington\u2019s ceramics program over the past 50 years. It is also a concurrent exhibition for this year\u2019s National Conference on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA), to be held in Richmond Virginia in late March.<\/p>\n

Julien Binford<\/p><\/div>\n

By bringing together a variety of expressions, techniques and processes, the exhibition highlights the success of our former students and the strength of our department while illustrating the range and depth of contemporary ceramic art.\u00a0 From sculptural objects and installations to functional pottery, Origins<\/em>\u00a0celebrates our community, and reiterates Mary Washington\u2019s identity as an institution grounded in the liberal arts.<\/p>\n

Julien Binford<\/em>, on display through March 15, honors the legacy of former Mary Washington Professor of Art, Julien Binford. The show presents preparatory drawings that Binford created during the 1940s and early 1950s for important commissions he received from LIFE Magazine\u00a0<\/em>and The Greenwich Savings Bank. These works were graciously loaned by Maureen Paige (UMW, Class of 1970), a former student of Julien Binford. Also on display are artworks acquired by Binford during his tenure at Mary Washington.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
