VASP SERIES: Artist Talk: John Dempsey: Contemporary Landscape Painting

Welcome to UMW Galleries and UMW Arts’ Visiting Artists and Speakers series! We bring in acclaimed artists and historians from around the country to give a lecture on their processes and research. Come join us for lectures that inspire! All lectures are free and open to the public!

Join us to hear from John Dempsey, a painter based in North Carolina, whose large-scale, collage-like paintings explore the intersection of memory, place, and perception. Dempsey was an award winner in UMW’s 2024 Mid-Atlantic New Painting exhibition.
