UPCOMING EXHIBIT

When Sorrows Come - Sisavanh Phouthavong Houghton

When Sorrows Come is a visiting artist exhibition featuring work by Sisavanh Phouthavong Houghton, Professor of Studio Arts in Painting at Middle Tennessee State University. Through richly layered compositions that merge archival and contemporary imagery, Phouthavong Houghton examines the enduring and complex legacy of war. Drawing from her experience as a Lao American refugee immigrant, her paintings explore the trauma of the Vietnam War alongside the realities of contemporary conflict. Grounded in personal and collective histories, the work holds deeply human stories of memory, resilience, and the passage of time, reverberating with the long-lasting consequences of war. 

In conjunction with the exhibition, Phouthavong Houghton will present a free, public artist talk, followed by a reception. 

Artist Talk and Opening Reception: Monday, October 26, 2026. Artist Talk from 11:15-12:15 with an opening reception to follow.
Exhibition Dates: October 26 - December 10
