Stitch Together: The Social Seamstress in Southern Appalachia explores the social connections of seamstresses by showcasing the fashion and clothing of the Reece Museum's permanent collection. The Reece Museum is free admission and open to the public Monday through Friday from 9am to 4:30pm.

Katie Murphy, a renowned painter from Johnson City who focuses on personal feminism and uses figuration and abstraction as her primary forms of expression will exhibit her cutting-edge work for a month at Tusculum University.

Murphy will present “The Great Southern Box Show” from Friday, Sept. 27-Friday, Oct. 25, in the Clem Allison Gallery, located inside Annie Hogan Byrd Fine Arts Center. Tusculum’s Center for the Arts will host a reception for her from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 10, which also falls during the university’s Homecoming celebration. The public is invited to attend the exhibit and the reception, both of which are free. Monetary donations are welcome.

“The Great Southern Box Show” examines Murphy’s familial and cultural heritage. She paints on corrugated boxes, a product her father and grandfather have sold during their careers. She has assembled these boxes since her childhood. Murphy describes her artistic practice as living in a world informed by figuration and abstraction. She said meaningful relationships in her personal life inspire her artistry.

People can view the exhibit from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday during its monthlong showing. The gallery is adjacent to the lobby on the first floor of Annie Hogan Byrd.

The exhibit was arranged by Benjamin Conley, assistant professor of art and design at Tusculum, who connected with Murphy through the Johnson City arts scene.
