Cass Rinsler

In fall 2021, SADAH alum Cass Rinsler served as artist in residency, visiting classes, creating an interactive show in Grace Street Gallery, and making wall-sized prints of her photography for display. Her exhibition at New Image Gallery, Your Body is Beautiful, Always, showed in two parts: Part 1 featured Rinsler's photographs of people in moments of relaxation, simple comfort and intimacy; Part 2 was an installation and performance involving the creation of body prints. Rinsler also created an installation called Remnant Lullabies, where volunteers could have a body print made of themselves that Rinsler would translate into a lullaby.

SADAH sponsored a gallery talk in March 2020 for Pato Hebert's exhibition, Lingering, on virtual display at the Arts Council of the Valley during the month of April. Hebert was a JMU Visiting Scholar in Spring 2019 and a Cultural Connections Artist-in-Residence in Spring 2020.
