Enjoy a public, docent-led tour of Encounters: Greely Myatt during $5 After 5. The tour is at 6 p.m. and is included with general admission, but registration is required. Learn more and register at the button above.
Greely Myatt is widely recognized for his whimsical sculptural objects and monumental installations made from found materials like flooring, neon lights, metal scraps, and discarded signage scavenged from the greater Memphis area. Engaging with surrealism, pop, folk, and outsider art, he has developed a compelling visual language of reimagined but recognizable forms, often reinterpreting literal motifs like comic strips and speech bubbles in his works. In addition to found materials, Myatt also incorporates elements like plants, quilts, and rugs into his pieces to reference his Mississippi childhood, setting them against abstract elements such as light, air, and negative space to spark a visual and mental dialogue.
Myatt was born in Mississippi and lives and works in West Memphis, AR. He received his MFA from the University of Mississippi and his BFA from Delta State University, and is a long-time professor of art at The University of Memphis. Organized by HMA.

Whyte’s WE THE PEOPLE, which includes portraits of a Missouri dairy farmer, Rhode Island lobsterman, Pennsylvania science teacher, South Carolina single mother, and 46 other moving works, is poised to become a national treasure honoring and connecting with men and women in uniform for generations to come.
The exhibition is accompanied by a 136 page book, containing 67 color and 50 black and white illustrations and published by University of South Carolina Press.

He received his Bachelor of Arts from the University of South Florida and his Master of Fine Arts degree in Photography from the City University of New York- Hunter College, where he studied with Roy DeCarava, Mark Feldstein, Juan Sanchez, and Robert Morris. José has been a grant panelist for the New York Department of Cultural Affairs and the Birmingham Cultural Alliance. He sometimes travels as juror for competitions and has curated art exhibits from New York City to Alabama. His latest curatorial projects bring together photography and local history to tell previously untold stories. José’s personal art projects are inspired by the documentary possibilities in photography. From the traditional documentary project to the possibilities of using objects, stories, and alternative techniques to help the viewer process the information. Additionally, José and artist Susan Weil have collaborated for over 20 years on variations of alternative photographic techniques, most importantly, the Cyanotype, or Blueprint. José’s work has been exhibited regionally at the Tinney Contemporary art gallery in Nashville, the Tennessee Valley Museum in Tuscumbia, Alabama, the Asheville Museum of Art in North Carolina, and The Baldwin Photographic Gallery in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Internationally, José has exhibited at numerous art and photography fairs, including Art Basel in Switzerland, and additionally at the Galerie Rüdiger Schöttle, in Munich, Germany.
