The Whole Drum Will Sound

New at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, The Whole Drum Will Sound—drawn primarily from the museum's permanent collection—celebrates strong female voices in abstract art in the American South. Southern female artist is a broad category, and the exhibit traces a trajectory of abstraction in the South through the rise of female voices in the visual arts.

Moving from the early Abstract Expressionist paintings of Dusti Bongé to the contemporary constructions of Shawne Major, this exhibition works range from the geometries of Ida Kohlmeyer and Halcyone Barnes to the gestural canvases of Vincencia Blount; from the stained surfaces of Dorothy Hood and Anastasia Pelias to the biomorphic abstractions of MaPo Kinnord and Shawn Hall. See the full dynamic display from March 22—July 22 with an opening reception on March 24, 6 pm–8 pm. ogdenmuseum.org.
