July 2022 in the Gordon JCC Galleries

The Work of Lauren Karp, Kelley Schmitt Rice, and Camp Davis Art.

The Janet Levine March Gallery will feature the work of Lauren Karp, a Nashville-based fine art photographer who specializes in creative nature photos. Raised in the bucolic countryside of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Lauren spent her childhood playing in lush fields, along meandering creeks, and around scenic farmlands. Amidst this backdrop, she pursued many forms of artistic expression including painting, calligraphy, and clothing design. Her journey continued as an art director for an international print and poster company. Inspired by world-renowned photographers, she combined her love of art and nature with a passion for photography. With her camera at her side since 2010, Lauren continues to travel extensively, creating her vision of beauty in the natural world. Her images capture a snapshot in time, giving viewers a quiet moment of emotive contemplation. Her latest exhibit represents the fleeting essence of each moment captured.

JLMG2 Gallery will feature the work of Nashville native, artist Kelley Schmitt Rice. Her career as a professional graphic designer spans over 3 decades. Along with exhibiting in local shows, she also teaches the medium of encaustic art.

The Sig Held Gallery will feature artwork from Camp Davis campers and will include fashion illustrations and work from the annual, specialty Fashion Camp.

The House gallery continues to feature the Under One Roof collaborative exhibit.

The Art Reception will be Wednesday, July 13th from 6 – 8 pm. The Exhibition will be up from July 1 – 31st. The exhibitions are free and open to the public. Attendees will need to sign in at the front desk. For more information, contact the GJCC at 615.354-1699, Curator Carrie Mills at carrie@nashvillejcc.org, or go to www.nashvillejcc.org.
