in the Center Gallery

a moving and thought-provoking collection of ceramic works by Kelsey Wise. Wise said of her exhibit: “It gives reverence and simultaneously rebels against the way fear has impacted my life.” She says “humor, confrontation, obsession, and reckless abandon are tactics I use in both my art process and the design of the work itself. In this body of work, Fear and Reverence, I examine my personal conceptions of fear while honoring both the coping mechanisms and the individuals who have helped me cope!”

Kelsey Wise graduated from Lander University in Greenwood, South Carolina, with a Master of Fine Art degree, and now teaches art full time. “Fear and Reverence” will open on Friday, November 7 th , and will remain open to the public through December 1 st . A reception to honor the artist was held from 5:30 to 7:30, Friday November 7th, 2025.
