Fall Exhibit - Tracy Wascom

The City of Marquette Arts and Culture Center announces its October LSAA Gallery exhibition by mixed media artist, Tracy Wascom. While no discrete moment marks its outset, Wascom has been engaged in the arts for almost as long as she can remember; whether she was utilizing photography, computers, video, drawing, or traditional sculpting techniques. Her work is driven by the desire to explore the myriad edges we use to define and demarcate our world–from our moral and ethical boundaries to the geography of maps. She enjoys investigating the ways we designate and divide beauty from ugliness, right from wrong, truth from fiction, dangerous from safe, even here from there by borders that seem clear but are often more deliciously ambiguous. Her work has been shown in more than 50 shows across the United States and recently in Budapest. Wascom graduated from Syracuse University with an MFA in Photography and has been teaching foundations and art history courses since 2005. She lives and works in Marquette, Michigan.

The LSAA exhibit will run from October 4 – November 15, while the SmallWorks exhibit will run October 4-31. A closing reception for the LSAA exhibit will be held on Thursday, Nov. 10 from 6-8 PM. The public is invited to attend and refreshments will be provided.
