The WCU Fine Art Museum is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibition honoring the life and legacy of Fairview-based artist Connie Bostic, on view from August 12 through October 17, 2025. Bostic, who was an alum of Western Carolina University and passed away in January 2024, made a lasting impact on the region’s cultural landscape, not only through her own artistic work but also through her involvement with many art ventures that connected artists and their audiences. In 2010, she gifted more than fifty works of art to the WCU Fine Art Museum’s permanent collection in honor of her mentor Robert Godfrey, who shared her commitment to the arts. No Ordinary Company: The Gifts of Connie Bostic brings together a selection of these donated works, including paintings, prints, and drawings by artists Bostic knew and respected, alongside a powerful centerpiece: a tour-de-force painting from her own Here and There series.
Exhibiting Artists: Connie Bostic, Porge Buck, Al Carter, Larry Caveney, Margaret Curtis, Elma Johnson, Linda Larsen, Joanna Obermüller, Mary Althea Parker, Teresa Prater, Ann Ropp, Mark Schieferstein, Michael Sheldon, Taylor Spence, and Tom Thompson
