The Reece Museum at East Tennessee State University is pleased to present Through the Light: Sculptural Works by artist, Molly Sawyer, Jan. 20 through April 2, 2026. The exhibition by cross-disciplinary artist Molly Sawyer weighs the ominous nature of the human dilemma against that of peaceful, and sometimes playful, intention. A reception with the artist will be held on Friday, Feb. 13 from 5-8 p.m. The Reece Museum is free and open to the public Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Based in Asheville, North Carolina, Sawyer’s contemporary works combining salvaged with artist-made materials bridge sculpture and installation art with works on paper. The artist’s chosen materials and methods used for combining such pull the past into the present, emphasizing Sawyer’s concern with global changes, both ecological and humanitarian. She blends her disparate materials in a contemporary manner using versions of traditionally craft-based techniques of stitching, embroidery, knitting, felting, and piecing, among others. These combinations emblematize a convergence of the historical with the current, illustrating conceptual narratives relating to universal concerns. As these investigations are metaphor describing the balance of forces in nature with the human condition, Sawyer states, “By collecting materials which have had one or more lives already, I am giving credence to their narratives, which have been developed through handling, weathering and age.”

Join us on Saturday, March 28, for a special volunteer day at Duck Island in Warriors' Path State Park. As part of the Duck Island Revival Project, we will be working together to dig up and remove invasive plants that threaten the island’s natural habitat. This effort is an important step in restoring native biodiversity and creating a healthier ecosystem for wildlife and visitors.

This volunteer day is part of a much larger restoration initiative made possible by Warriors' Path State Park, Friends of Warriors' Path, and the Iris Fund. Thanks to this support, we will be removing an obsolete tennis court, creating a vibrant pollinator garden, planting native trees, and revitalizing historic picnic areas. These improvements will help us uphold the high standard of care we strive for in Tennessee State Parks and ensure Duck Island remains a beautiful, sustainable space for generations to come. By joining us, you’ll be contributing to a project that truly makes a lasting difference for the park and the community.

Breakfast will be provided at 8:30 AM, and work will begin promptly at 9:00 AM. The park will provide all necessary tools for the work, and for safety reasons, participants are not allowed to bring chainsaws or power tools. We encourage everyone to wear sturdy, weather-appropriate clothing suitable for outdoor work and the conditions. Gloves and eye protection are strongly recommended, and please bring plenty of water to stay hydrated. We expect to work for about three hours.

This is a great opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the environment while enjoying the beauty of Duck Island. If you have any questions or need more information, please contact Park Ranger Ethan Sane if you have any questions at Ethan.Sane@TN.gov. We look forward to seeing you there!

In order to get an idea of the number of participants, we ask that you sign up via volunteer galaxy or contact Ranger Ethan via email.

Bud Frank Cinema and the Department of Theatre and Dance present National Theatre Live’s production of HAMLET (2025) with a special introduction by ETSU's current Basler Chair, Steve Maurice Jones.

Olivier Award-winner Hiran Abeysekera (Life of Pi) is Hamlet in this fearless, contemporary take on Shakespeare’s famous tragedy. Trapped between duty and doubt, surrounded by power and privilege, young Prince Hamlet dares to ask the ultimate question – you know the one. National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge, Operation Mincemeat) directs this sharp, stylish and darkly funny reimagining.

This event is sponsored by the Mary B. Martin School of the Arts and is free and open to the public – doors open at 12:30pm.
