Join Visiting Artist Jerome Tryon at the closing reception for the Visiting Artist Exhibition!  
  
As an architectural critic at the Yale School of Architecture, designer, and artist, Tryon's practice of spatial inquiry examines how memory shapes perception and architectural space. Through projects spanning drawings, architectural objects, and sculpted frames, he invites viewers to explore his steel-built environment to learn more about the relationship between image, space, and memory.  
  
The gallery reception is free, open to the public, and open-house style. No RSVP is necessary to attend. Appetizers and drinks will be available. See you at the Center Art Gallery in the Covenant Fine Arts Center on November 5, from 5-8pm!  
  
Can't make it to the reception? Jerome Tryon's exhibition runs August 27 - November 6, 2026.
