2026 Alumni Art Juried Exhibition on display

The second annual Alumni Art Juried Exhibition is currently on display in Brenau University’s Renaissance Gallery on the downtown Gainesville Square.
The show highlights alumni artists, according to Gallery Director Lybi Cucurullo, and includes a variety of media including photography, paintings, fiber arts, and collage.
“Our arts programs at Brenau are one of our strongest, so it was a natural fit to include a show focused on the work of our amazing graduates during Alumni Reunion Weekend,” Cucurullo said. “This show is also a reminder for our students that the confidence we have in them and their accomplishments doesn’t disappear after graduation.”
The artists in the show are as follows:
- Alyson Boyko
- Melinda Cooper
- Shiloh Van Gray
- Jennifer Griner
- Heather R. Hanline
- Lainey E. Kennedy
- Nicole Klein
- Veronica Martin
- Jennifer Lynch Shull
- Chrystal Strickland
- Ashley Warmack
- Willow J. Wolfe

The gallery will be open during the day of the Gainesville Art Walk, and an artist meet-and-greet reception will take place Thursday, April 16, from 5-7 p.m. A breakfast reception during Alumni Reunion Weekend will take place Friday, April 17, from 10-11:30 a.m. for those attending the reunion.
