Augmenters & Interlopers, a new group exhibition showcasing works by University of Arkansas art department adjunct faculty, is on display at the University of Arkansas Student Gallery (also known as (sUgAR) in downtown Bentonville.
Augmenters & Interlopers contains a diverse array of works. The selections encompass a variety of media including paintings, video art, sculpture, photography, ceramics and design.
Adjunct instructors, who are contracted by universities on a class-by-class basis, represent a wide range of opinions and experience. Some are temporary residents, while others are local professionals. Some return to teach frequently enough to be mistaken for permanent faculty. Others teach for a semester or two, and then move on.
This exhibition includes art by Amjad Faur, Sean Fitzgibbon, Sonia Davis Gutierrez, Hank Kaminsky, Sam King, Stephanie Pierce, Adam Posnak, Amanda Salov, Jinsoo Song and Cindy Wiseman.
An opening reception celebrating the exhibiting artists will take place from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Friday, May 6, at the gallery, located at 114 W. Central Ave., in Bentonville. Following the reception, there will be live music performances by local bands Devil’s Promenade, Perpetual Werewolf and Fauxnz. These events are free and open to the public.
The exhibition will be on display from April 28 through May 29, with viewing hours on Thursdays from 2-6 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 1-5 p.m.
The sUgAR gallery exhibits work from the Fay Jones School of Architecture and the department of art at the University of Arkansas. The gallery is made possible by these entities, as well as the UA’s Office of the Provost, the Graduate School, the Honors College and Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, in collaboration with Downtown Bentonville Inc.
