Editor’s Note: The opening reception at OCAF on Sept. 27 has been canceled due to inclement weather. Instead, the gallery will host a closing reception on Nov. 1 from 5–7 p.m.
The 29th annual “Southworks Juried Exhibition” includes over 80 artists representing various styles and media. The exhibition was juried by William Eiland, who formerly served as the director of the Georgia Museum of Art. Opening alongside “Southworks” is “So Much More” by Lisa Freeman. Freeman grew up in the Midwest and moved to Georgia in 1979. She has been making art her whole life, but has been doing it more seriously for over a decade now. This series of multimedia works addresses the limitations that women face in a patriarchal society, including sexual objectification beginning in childhood, the dichotomous view of women as either homemakers or receptacles of sexual fantasies, and how they have pushed back throughout history. Both exhibitions will remain on view through Nov. 1.
