“Outside-In: Sarah Thompson Moore” Reception & Lecture

The Whitworth University Art & Design Department and the university’s Bryan Oliver Gallery are proud to present an installation of works by Sarah Thompson Moore.

Reception: Tuesday, Feb. 27, 5-6 p.m., Lied Center for the Visual Arts
Artist’s lecture: Tuesday, Feb. 27, 6-7 p.m., Lied Center for the Visual Arts, Room 102

You may also visit the exhibit between Feb. 6 and Mar. 22, 2024. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Closed on official university holidays.

Outside-In draws upon the artist’s experience creating large-scale public works that contemplate nature, history and the essential characteristics of a given place. Reflecting upon those themes, Sarah Thompson Moore filters them through the lens of the gallery walls in a mixed-media display of visually linked artworks, installation and remnants. Including a re-envisioning of materials and processes left over from past public art projects, Outside-In is all about self-reflection and exploring new territories in life and in art.
