Art Show: Through the Iris

Posted by: Department of Art

“Through the Iris,” a touring art exhibition showcasing the work of 25 contemporary, professional female visual artists, will have its final showing in Duke Art Gallery this October. All of these artists hold an MFA degree from Azusa Pacific University. Through a variety of mediums, “Through the Iris” depicts the personal journeys and narratives of the artists. “Threads of meaning weave through the work to reveal themes of home, refuge, longing, reconnection, discovery and transcendence,” explained Kim M. Reiff (MFA '09), director of the exhibit. “Together, the 25 artists offer the viewer a rich visual experience. We encourage the community stop by and enjoy their work.” The work will be on display from Tuesday, October 9th until Friday, November 2nd. The opening reception will take place Tuesday, October 9th from 6-8pm in the gallery. Kim will be giving a talk in the gallery at 5pm.
