Wilson College will host simultaneous receptions marking the opening of two free art exhibitions on Wednesday, Sept. 13—one featuring the work of members of The Foundry and one featuring the work of Hagerstown, Md., artist Kate Miller. The receptions will be held from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in their respective venues—The Foundry exhibit in Lortz Hall’s Bogigian Gallery and the Miller exhibit in the Wilson library’s Sue Davison Cooley Gallery.

The Foundry exhibition features a selection of member artwork from the Chambersburg artist cooperative, which is based at 100 S. Main St. The exhibition will include paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures and more.

Entitled Chronicles, Miller’s exhibition is a collection of new and recent paintings inspired by the artist’s desire to “record the world as I experience it.” Miller, whose work is inspired by Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse and Alice Neel, has a bachelor’s degree in studio art from George Washington University and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Delaware, where she taught drawing and painting as a graduate student. She is a member of Tag Gallery in Frederick, Md., and has shown recently at the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts in Hagerstown.

Chronicles will continue through Dec. 8 in the Cooley Gallery, which is open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday; and 1 to 11 p.m. Sunday. The Foundry exhibit will continue through Oct. 13 in the Bogigian Gallery, which is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
