contemporary & outsider art
presents
OPENING: Fri., 11. 21 • 6 - 9 pm
EXHIBIT THROUGH: 01.25.2009
The art exhibition WISH LIST does not address the diamond
rings, perfect smiles, or shiny Hummers that Santa Claus stuffs
down the chimneys of the world. Instead, it deals with the
very personal wishes and concerns of young artists whose eyes
are wide open on their journeys – and not only during the
holiday season. These works of painting, printing, drawing,
installation and photography compel the viewer’s contemplation,
using humor and irony to describe what they really want
(or don't want) for Christmas.
WISH LIST is a collaboration with the students and graduates
of the Art Department of Tennessee State University.

The exhibit features artists from across the U.S. and their viewpoint on feminine values in art. Apart from their gender and dedication to art, most of these women are alums from the Vermont College of Fine Arts, which is devoted to progressive ideas and exchange, much like the mission of Scarritt-Bennett. This exhibition features installation, sculpture, video, painting and drawing and reflects personal statements regarding various aspects of society from politics to philosophy, from spirituality to psychology.
The exhibition is housed in the new gallery F. at the Front Porch Coffee & Gift Shop at Scarritt-Bennett, at the corner of 19th & Grand.
