Carly Hambright’s BFA exit show titled “Evocation” features various sculpture pieces that are inspired by her personal experiences from childhood onward. Her works take on a surrealistic style, by recreating dreams, nightmares, and memories, turning an innocent object into something sinister. Taking a story-telling approach that uses an open-ended narrative, her work connects to the viewer aesthetically, physically, and emotionally. 

Currently on display in the UAH Union Grove Gallery through May 6th.

Virtual tour available through May 28th.

Did you attend Huntsville’s Panoply Festival this past weekend? If you did, you got to see local artists in action, including UAH students and alumni. 

Panoply is the Southeast‘s premier arts weekend where Huntsville’s innovative spark shines through a festival of art, music, and more. After COVID-19 canceled last year’s festival, it was a special gathering of local artists. 

ArtsHuntsville reached out to current students and alumni in the Department of Art, Art History, & Design to create a new addition to the festival, including large-scaled Panoply letters. The artists included Samantha Tallichet (‘21 BFA Drawing & Painting), Sylvia Cortes (‘23 BFA Drawing & Painting), and Sarah Joy Dunlap (‘20 BFA Drawing & Painting). The project was commissioned to showcase highlights of the festival, Big Spring Park, and Huntsville. You can see images on the letters that included the Saturn V Rocket, Koi fish in the Big Spring Pond, cherry blossom trees for the park, and more. 

The installation included seven wooden letters, and each one is eight feet tall. The artist used a combination of outdoor house paint and acrylic paint to create the images. The letters were on display during the festival near the pond at the Huntsville Museum of Art in Big Spring Park. 

Sarah Joy Dunlap enjoyed getting to participate in the annual festival again. 

I think that Panoply is a wonderful staple of Huntsville. I’ve always loved being able to see and learn about local art and meet local artists. I was able to work the UAH Art Club tent at Panoply for a couple of years, and was very happy when I was asked to join in on this project for 2021’s Panoply. Huntsville’s art scene is already fantastic and is full of potential. I look forward to watching it continue to flourish, and I hope to be a part of that flourishing!

Samantha Tallichet shares her views on the importance of this annual art festival,

“The Panoply Art Festival is an important part of the artist community in Huntsville because it is a celebration of local artists and small businesses. It allows for people living in Huntsville and surrounding areas to come together, express themselves, and explore different art forms. From a very young age, my family and I have attended the festival. Going to see all the artists and their wonderful artworks as a child served as a huge inspiration for me wanting to pursue a career in art. I have participated in the festival for several years, both having artwork on display and volunteering. It is an honor to be a part of this project and work with Arts Huntsville.” 

The gallery includes the progress of each letter and the final display. For more information on Panoply, please visit artshuntsville.org.

A lack of in-person interactions is a primary driver for older people to use social media, which differs from how younger people use it to establish and maintain relationships, according to a first of its kind study of older users by a researcher at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of the University of Alabama System.

On April 16, The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, hosted the annual University Awards for Excellence ceremony virtually to recognize the contributions of the university’s faculty, staff members and researchers.

Everyman

Directed by: Karen Baker

UAH Theatre’s spring production of Everyman, a medieval morality play for the ages. Set during a Mardi Gras parade, we learn some universal lessons about what’s really important in life. 

The story of Everyman is in almost every culture, from the Dutch Elckerlijc to the Buddhist text Miscellaneous Agama by Genji Takahashi. Its universal theme of friendship can be seen. With Everyman specifically, the addition of good deeds (the loyal friend) required to present to God, while all his “false” friends and worldly possessions flee. In our materialistic mindset, it is a welcome reminder that our good deeds are what truly makes us happy. As a society, we can only be strong when we reach out and help those around us. With the global pandemic, I think that has been tested and placed under a microscope. The pandemic has caused individuals to confront death and assess what is truly important in the world, in our communities, and ourselves.
