Liquid Illumination 2.0
9 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays; 1-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Bluffton University
Bluffton University’s Grace Albrecht Gallery will host the art exhibit “Liquid Illumination 2.0” by Sue Hershberger Yoder and Jon Yoder from Aug. 30-Sept. 17, 2023.
Work includes projective illuminations and framed prints on silk. According to the artist’s statement, “The liturgical atmosphere of this installation is intended to acknowledge that, like the simultaneously sacred and superficial qualities of rose windows and illuminated manuscripts, artistic and religious ideologies are also always malleable and open to interpretation.”
The exhibit is free and open to the public. Gallery hours in the Sauder Visual Arts Center are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 1-5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
