Surf Point Foundation (SPF) and the George Marshall Store Gallery (GMSG) are thrilled to invite you to SPF Selects: A More Human Dwelling Place, SPF's first alumni exhibition curated by SPF Board Vice Chair Myron M. Beasley. The exhibition features 30+ artists who have attended SPF's residency from 2019-2022. Included in the show are works in fiber, fresco, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture and video, as well as work by SPF co-founder Beverly Hallam.
The show's title is inspired by James Baldwin's 1962 essay "The Creative Spirit" in which Baldwin writes: The role of the artist is to make the world a more human dwelling place. The exhibition celebrates SPF and GMSG's mutual goals to foster meaningful connections within the visual arts community.
