Hollister, MO—In its upcoming art exhibit, Southern Missouri Arts Connection (SMAC) will be featuring the work of artist Livia Xandersmith, an adjunct professor at Washington University in St. Louis. Her solo exhibit, Reaping Havoc, will run from December 6-28 at the SMAC Art Center gallery on historic Downing Street in Hollister. Xandersmith’s work explores dread and anxiety over what is happening in the world.
“I’ve been working on this body of work since the pandemic,” she said. While her work is mostly realistic, she turned to surrealism to express the theme of this exhibit.
An opening night reception will be held Friday, December 6, from 6-9 p.m. Both the exhibit and reception are free and open to the public. Attendees may view the exhibit, tour the private studios and enjoy complimentary refreshments. The Vintage Paris Coffee kiosk will also be on site.
Each month during their exhibits, SMAC highlights one of the many local non-profit organizations that serves the area. This month SMAC is drawing attention to the Skaggs Foundation, which funds patient programs, supports Cox Hospital in capital improvement projects, provides student scholarships and impacts thousands of lives through its community grantmaking program Skaggs Legacy Endowment.
Southern Missouri Arts Connection (SMAC), a 501C3 non-profit local center of creativity, art education, innovation, and community partnership, strives to improve the quality of life in southern Missouri by connecting individuals with the arts, for the benefit of all.
