Steffen Thomas: Casting the Net of Brotherhood  

Exhibition runs through September 1, 2018

Reception, Annual Meeting of the Membership and Sara’s Salon Talk on Thursday, August 23 at 6:00 PM

Join us for our Annual Meeting of the Membership followed immediately by a reception and informative Sara’s Salon Talk on the current exhibition Steffen Thomas: Casting the Net of Brotherhood.  The Talk will provide more insight into Thomas’ welcoming beliefs and philosophies that are the heart of the rarely-seen works in the exhibition.  Included are archival materials heralding the artist’s belief that “This world is too small for less than brotherhood, too dangerous for less than truth.”   The exhibition runs through September 1.

Museum hours: Tues. – Sat. 11 AM – 4 PM. Steffen Thomas Museum of Art, 4200 Bethany Road, Buckhead, GA. 706- 342-7557. www.steffenthomas.org. Small admission fee for non-members.

The Round Table Discussion was well attended by so many people interested in meeting these exciting artists and listening to their talk.  Thank you to the Conrads Family Fund for funding this epic event and to Unity Morgan for their support.   Click Here to read the article written by Tia Lynn Ivey of The Morgan County Citizen.

In conjunction with the ongoing joint exhibition at the Morgan County African American Museum and the Steffen Thomas Museum of Art, an artists’ round table discussion with all five of the contemporary artists whose works are featured in the show will be held at the Steffen Thomas Museum of Art (STMA) on Saturday, March 3 from 3-5 p.m.

Curator Judy Barber will lead Atlanta-based artists Kevin Cole, Shanequa Gay, Alfred Conteh, Kevin Sipp and Lynn Marshall-Linnemeir in an exploration of the wide-ranging artistic approaches and numerous styles of the paintings, sculptures, photographs and textiles concurrently on display at both museums through March 17th.

The free community event will include a meet & greet with the artists beginning at 3 PM, followed by an informal discussion on the recurring themes in the artists’ works: the search for identity, the longing for home, the power of spirituality, and the importance of inter-generational connection. A Q & A session wraps up the afternoon at 5 PM. For questions or more information, please visit www.steffenthomas.org or call 706-342-7557. The museum is located at 4200 Bethany Road, Buckhead, GA 30625, 7 miles outside Madison, GA.
