FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The School of Art at the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences is presenting two Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibitions: Hannah McBroom’s Give Up the Ghost and Chase Young’s Zitrone.

Give Up the Ghost will be on display March 25-April 6 at the Walker Stone House, located at 207 W. Center St., Fayetteville.

The exhibition is a series of six paintings representing gender difficulty and ambiguity. The artist describes the paintings as an introspective examination of her own experiences through a transgender lens.

McBroom shares her point of view using visual narratives to present moments surrounding gender transformation. Through the use of various environments she explores how singular moments build on a formation of gender identity.

Zitrone will be on display March 25-29 at the SCUL Gallery, located in the School of Art Sculpture Building at 744 S. Hill Ave., Fayetteville.

Young has structured the exhibition around the Volkswagen Mid-Cab, a vehicle he references as one of the greatest automotive lemons of the 20th century.

Through use of objects, text and imagery, the artist looks to unveil a forgotten and unfamiliar history filled with questions and absurdity.

Both exhibitions are free and open to the public. The Zitrone closing reception will be from 5:30-7 p.m. Friday, March 29, at the SCUL Gallery. The closing reception for Give Up the Ghost will be from 5-8 p.m. Thursday, April 6, at the Walker Stone House.
