Lacey Finchum, "7 Days"

The Southern Missouri Arts Connection (SMAC) will host a solo exhibit of the work of Lacey Finchum, entitled 7Days. The show will run July 4-26 at the SMAC Art Center, 7 Downing Street, in historic Hollister, MO.

This exhibit of acrylic paintings on oversized canvas is an epic display of creative imagination with a jolt of reality. Finchum describes the work as “part history, part prophecy, part current events,” adding “7Days is a set of giant, futuristic, ancient scrolls depicting the surreal imagery of a dystopian apocalypse wrapped in bubblegum and cotton candy”. During the opening reception, Finchum will give a short talk, as well as answer questions about her work.

The opening reception will be on Friday evening, July 4, 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. Vintage Paris Coffee kiosk will also be on site.

Closing of the show will feature a free screening of the 1927 “futuristic” film, Metropolis, on Saturday, July 26 at 6pm at the SMAC art center.

Each month during their exhibits, SMAC highlights one of the many local non-profit organizations that serve the area. This month SMAC is drawing attention to Branson Humane Society whose mission is to aid in the alleviation of distress and suffering of animals, and promote their humane treatment through protection, placement, and public education. Branson Humane Society operates an adoption center and two thrift stores. www.bransonhumanesociety.com
