New exhibit at TROY’s Rosa Parks Museum features work from River Region artists

 An exhibit of works by artists from the River Region is on display in the gallery at Troy University’s Rosa Parks Museum through Dec. 10.

“Art of the River Region” highlights the work of current River Region residents such as Nathanial Allen, Alisa Beck, Madeline Burkhardt, Maalik Camp, Alana Enfinity, Sueann Gomez, Patricia Hackett, Keith J.R. Hollingsworth, Rebecca Olson, Jayla Poe, J. Felton Powell, Ashley Redic, Korey Rowswell, Tara Sartorius, Ciera Simone, Mary Soylu, Toni Toney and Cleve Webber.

A free reception will be held at 6 p.m. on Nov. 10. Exhibits in the museum’s gallery are free for viewing during normal operating hours, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.

“The River Region not only has a rich history of activism, but also of visual and performance art,” said Madeline Burkhardt, the museum’s Adult Education Coordinator and Curator of the exhibit. “Some of the world’s most well-known artists have hailed from this area. Our current exhibit highlights artists currently living in the River Region and their various styles, visions and media.” 

Many of the works featured in the exhibit are for sale. Inquiries can be made by calling 334-241-8615 or by emailing Burkhardt at mburkhardt@troy.edu for additional information.
