Clarksville, TN – Skeletons, vintage rabbits, and ceramic cats are but a few of the quirky objects found in the Customs House Museum’s Crouch Gallery. Matthew Deric Gore’s exhibition, Setting the Stage, brings to life trinkets and flowers within moody, dark backgrounds of shadowed wallpapers.
Strange pairings make for interesting narratives for the viewer’s imagination in Gore’s realistic style of painting.

Austin Peay State University APSU student Nicole Santoyo offers artistic take on “modern” life in the South
September 16, 2016
Clarksville, TN – Art can be seen as a window into the world, and Austin Peay State University art and biology double major Nicole Santoyo’s recent work has done that, offering a look into a familiar world through the lenses of an unfamiliar visitor.
Santoyo was awarded a 2015-16 Presidential Research Scholarship (PRS) for her presentation, titled “Southern Epic: Addressing Contemporary Tennessean Life,” a series of oil paintings addressing what she saw as a misrepresentation of the South; namely, a tendency to focus on presenting life in states like Tennessee as more idyllic and glamorous than the reality.
