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 Sunday, February 15 at 4:00 PM at Munsey Memorial United Methodist Church for an exceptional afternoon of organ music featuring world‑renowned organist Dr. Stephen Hamilton.

For more than four decades, Stephen Hamilton has been a leading presence on the American and international organ scene. Hamilton has appeared in many of the world’s most celebrated venues, including Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, Westminster Abbey, and St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, as well as major cathedral and concert settings throughout the United States.

Dr. Hamilton is Minister of Music Emeritus at the historic Church of the Holy Trinity in New York City, where he served for many years as organist, conductor, and artistic director of a nationally recognized concert series. A respected educator, he has held faculty positions at institutions including the Manhattan School of Music and has been a frequent clinician for the American Guild of Organists.

At Munsey Church, Dr. Hamilton will perform works by Reger, Pasquini, Valente, J.S. Bach, Franck, and Ginastera, showcasing the rich tonal resources of the R. A. Colby pipe organ.
Admission is free, and no tickets are required.
The concert begins Sunday, February 15 at 4:00 PM, at Munsey Memorial United Methodist Church.
