Broker and Bellan-Gillen

Screams and Whispers: Karin Broker and Patricia Bellan-Gillen


 January 24 – May 11, 2025

This two-person exhibition of recent drawings and sculptures created by Pittsburgh artist Patricia Bellan-Gillen and Texas artist Karin Broker, is inspired by the creative dialog the artists have engaged in for years. Both artists are known for carefully crafted, elaborate artworks that suggest narratives influenced equally by traditional myths and contemporary society. The surrealist tendency in their art making is also heavily imbued with feminist themes.

Radiant Pages: The Art of the Book


 January 24 – May 11, 2025

This exhibition invites visitors to explore how a book can “radiate” beyond the page to the wider world. How do books work? What is their impact, both on individuals and the broader society? How have our answers to these questions changed over time, and what is yet to come? 

Painting for the Deem Distinguished Lecture

Thirty: Celebrating 30 Years of the Deem Distinguished Lecture Series


 January 24 – May 11, 2025

This exhibition honors the 30-year legacy of support by Alison and Patrick Deem to the School of Art & Design at West Virginia University for an annual lecture by an outstanding guest artist. Since 1995, the Deem Distinguished Lecture has brought artists and arts professionals of international reputation to campus including three MacArthur Foundation “genius” awardees. This exhibition highlights some of those artists work which highlights the quality and diversity of this lecture series.
