PURPOSE AND SUPPORT
Named for the holistic nature of design, the
Circle Gallery engages visitors, students,
faculty and staff with diverse exhibits
highlighting everything from landscape
architecture, historic preservation, and
environmental planning to the fine arts.
The exhibitions we organize reflect our
College’s interdisciplinary approach
while enriching the academic and cultural
environment of our campus.
This year’s exhibitions celebrate the
relationship between the fine arts and
environmental design. It is important to
cultivate this relationship as our fields
have so much in common and so much
to offer one another.
The gallery is supported by the College
of Environment and Design, private
donations, and sales of artwork.
This year’s fundraiser coincides with
the opening reception of Roads, Rivers
and Red Clay, ceramics by Ron Meyers.
We invite you to attend on October 15th,
2015 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Refreshments
provided.
Afloat
rg brown iii
AUGUST 20 - OCTOBER 2, 2015
RG Brown III is professor emeritus of
the Lamar Dodd School of Art where
he taught for 30 years and served as
the director of the Cortona program. A
graduate of the Harvard Graduate School
of Design in Landscape Architecture,
Brown chose to dedicate his life to
creating art rather than conventional
landscapes. But like a landscape
architect, his interpretation of place is
often foremost in his mind. Afloat is a
compendium of works that explores the
notion of journey and the memories of
newfound places and experiences.
Roads, Rives,
and Red Clay
RON MEYERS
OCTOBER 15 - DECEMBER 18, 2015
Since his childhood in Buffalo, N.Y.
where he grew up in landscapes shaped
by Frederick Law Olmsted, Ron Meyers
has been deeply influenced by his
physical environment. This influence
is reflected in this show of new work,
created in his 80th year. Meyers’
ceramics are recognized nationally and
internationally for their wit, functionality,
and originality. Using clay dug from the
rivers of the Southeast, he celebrates
the world around us in playful ways that
challenge and inspire us to connect to
our place throughout our entire lives.
Please Join us at our Circle Gallery Fundraiser,
Thursday, October 15th, from 4:30 to 6 p.m.
Refreshments provided.

Carol Betsch

History (LALH). The touring exhibit
