Water Source

  • August 01, 2025 - November 02, 2025
E. Craig Wall Jr. Academic Center - On Site Exhibition

Water Source presents a selection of photographs from the Van Every/Smith Galleries’ collection, all depicting water. From serene beach scenes to flooded farm fields, bustling ports, sacred moments of baptism, and the perilous waters navigated by migrants seeking refuge, the exhibition speaks to power of water to both sustain life and endanger it.
