One of the most powerful ways you can take an active role in politics is by voting.
Your votes reveal your values - what you consider to be most important in your
life and in the lives of people in your community. This exhibition is organized
around ongoing national conversations that explore connections between the values
we maintain and how those values influence our voting. The ideas that resonate
in this exhibition are meant to empower visitors to make their voices heard in
the democratic process.

This installation features two innovative textile art projects that give visual
and tangible presence to our warming world at a crucial moment of environmental
precariousness. By translating temperature, precipitation, humidity, or windspeed
data into stitch and color, these vibrant works potently and poignantly reveal
the centrality of weather to notions of identity and experiences of place, and
thus “map” a range of encounters from environmental to phenomenological.
Be part of our inner circle. Friends of the Art Museum enjoy members-only opportunities.
Donations support a robust schedule of exhibitions, programs, and events at the Art Museum.
Erik Herron is the Eberly Family Distinguished Professor of Political Science and the 2023 Art Museum of WVU faculty fellow. Together with museum staff, Herron curated the exhibition, “Our Votes, Our Values,” using art to highlight important political and social issues. Join us on this final Friday before the 2024 election to hear more about how the exhibition was created and the ways that art can inspire civic discourse.
Join us for a fiber arts event featuring beginner workshops in knitting and sewing, make-and-take crafts, and our Community Loom project. There will be a knitting workshop (2 sessions with 6 spots each available) where participants can create a winter pine decoration and a sewing workshop (15 spots available) where participants will make a snowflake ornament. These workshops will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis and all supplies will be provided. There will also be make-and-take cardboard loom weavings and friendship bracelets, as well as the opportunity to add to our Community Loom project; woven with recycled t-shirts. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own old t-shirts to cut and use in the loom to leave their mark on the collective tapestry. All attendees can enjoy complimentary hot chocolate and cookies while they craft with us!
