Three exhibitions will open next week at the University of Lynchburg’s Daura Museum of Art.

“Works from the Permanent Collection” opens Wednesday, Jan. 22, in Gallery I. It features work by Virginia landscape painters Pierre Daura, Queena Stovall, and Georgia Morgan; abstract paintings by Umaña, Lauren Collings, and Connie Fox; realism to abstraction by Marie Tiner; outsider artists Howard Finster and James Harold-Jennings; and many more.

The exhibition runs through Friday, May 16.

An installation by Veronica Jackson, “A CONSTELLATION OF BLACKNESS: Rendering Invisibility, Hypervisibility, Devaluation, and Triumph,” opens in Gallery II on Thursday, Jan. 23, and closes on Friday, March 7.

An opening reception for the exhibition will be held from 4-8 p.m. on Thursday, January 30.

According to a description of the exhibition, Jackson’s installation “investigates Black women’s visibility, value, and devaluation in visual culture, while responding to a gendered and racialized existence in America.”

On Saturday, Jan. 25, “Legacy: Celebrating African American Creativity in Central Virginia Through Art” opens in the Daura Museum’s Lobby Gallery and also at the Maier Museum of Art at Randolph College.

The dual exhibition, which celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Legacy Museum of African American History, is presented through a partnership between the Daura, Maier, and the Legacy museums.

A closing reception will be held at the Lobby Gallery from 4-6 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 28.

Throughout the academic year, the Daura Museum of Art welcomes visitors from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. The museum is closed on weekends and during holidays and University breaks. Admission is free.
