Dalton Gallery of Agnes Scott College

Searching for Home artist Dawn Williams Boyd was recently featured in an AJC article about the Atlanta artist’s new show Cloth Paintings at Fort Gansevoort Gallery in New York City. Read the article today!

This year, more than ever, the search for home feels especially relevant. Is home now a place for business, schooling our children and family time? Is our current home ideal or just temporary? Searching for Home explores the many ways people are contemplating home in 2020. The search for home is a journey that we all find ourselves on in life. In this video tour of our fall exhibition hear four artists from the exhibition, the College’s Director of Sustainability and three Agnes Scott College professors of anthropology, sociology, and culture discuss the ideas of home. Searching for Home is on view through December 12 by appointment only. Find more information and book your visit today at daltongallery.agnesscott.org

We are excited to welcome you this fall for limited in person visits to our fall exhibition Searching for Home- A project of the Margaret Virginia Philip Endowment curated by Dot Moye. We have all searched for home. Some have found it, while for others it is a lifelong quest. In this century the entire interwoven globe has reeled from constant motion to arrested stop and soon, back again reacting to displacement war pandemic violence poverty danger climate up...heaval politics chaos nature’s whims disease. As the pendulum swings, some search for an ideal PLACE; others yearn for psychic or spiritual sanctuary. The search may be a physical progress or a journey of the spirit; the seeking may be voluntary or forced; tragic or hopeful. The goal is a better life and safety for ourselves and those we love the security of HOME. Artists are sharing the quests giving faces to the seekers exploring the paths joining the search. We know when we get there. Read more about this exhibition on our website and reserve your ticket today! http://daltongallery.agnesscott.org/exh/searching-for-home/
