Join us for the 6th annual Smallidge Lecture Saturday, November 11 at 12 PM. This year’s guest speaker is Teresa Dunn.

Recent group exhibitions include at National Arts Club and The Painting Center both in New York, “Disrupted Realism” featuring Anne Harris, juried by John Seed, at Buckham Gallery, for which she was awarded second prize. Notably Dunn’s work is included in the forthcoming book by John Seed More Disruption: Representation in Flux from Schiffer Publishing. Dunn’s work is in collections including the Dennos Museum Center, the Zillman Art Museum, Kinsey Institute, Venice Baroque Orchestra, and Wright State University Art Galleries.
