Bluffton University will host a September 17 reception for artists Sue Hershberger Yoder and John Yoder whose work is currently showcased at the Grace Albrecht Gallery of Sauder Visual Arts Center.
Gallery hours in the Sauder Visual Arts Center are 9:00 a.m-5:00 p.m. weekdays and 1:00-5:00 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
The event will celebrate their exhibit “Liquid Illumination 2.0” which features projective illuminations and framed prints on silk. According to the artists’ 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 reception will take place from 1:00-3:00 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 17. The artists will share about their work and answer questions at 1:30 p.m.
Arts at Bluffton events are made possible due to generous support from donors including David Bertsche ’57 and James ’83 and Rhonda (Louis ’84) Fox.
