This one-week Art & Museum Teen Camp for 7th graders and up, Mosaic Mountain: Materials of Collaboration, was in session June 1 to 5. Campers created multiple artworks exhibited in one of the Reece Museum’s three galleries. Collaborating with local artist Amanda Renfrow and museum staff, campers worked together to create individual works of art through collaborative group projects exploring different media. Projects included wheat paste collage, contact paper window collage and a large-scale wind-chime mobile. All the works were inspired by Renfrow's stained glass art. The exhibition is open to the public now and remain on display through September 4. Beyond creating an exhibition, campers also enjoyed daily indoor and outdoor activities, including campus and museum tours. Mosaic Mountain gave campers an opportunity to create and exhibit art in a professional museum, learn new and interesting art making techniques with regional artists, and have a mountain of fun!

The Reece Museum presents Window into the Soul: The Work of Amanda Renfrow, an exhibition featuring the stained glass work by local artist Amanda Renfrow.

Window into the Soul, showcasing twenty-five stained-glass works by Renfrow, offers a retrospective of her eight-year practice. A native of Oklahoma, Renfrow moved to Appalachia in 2018 and began her artistic practice in glass. Starting as an apprentice to Steve Cook, a renowned glass artist in Jonesborough, Renfrow has since gained notoriety, with work frequently exhibited and housed in private and public collections, including the Reece Museum Permanent Collection.

"This exhibition brings together works that trace my artistic development from the smallest butterfly to the largest sun, reflecting the evolution of my approach over time,” says Renfrow.
