SNACKS: a solo exhibition by Lauren Gregory

Lauren Gregory took over KyCAD’s campus with a dynamic collection of work spanning quilting, painting, and animation. On January 15, we welcomed Gregory to our gallery for an artist talk followed by an opening reception, inviting the community to experience her work firsthand.

A multidisciplinary artist and educator from the mountains of East Tennessee, Gregory brings these mediums together to explore storytelling and the relationship between tradition and technology.

Here are a few highlights from the night.
