In addition\, more than 70 works will be on loan from major institutions and Gatewood’s family and friends—many of which have never before been publicly displayed. \nGatewood earned her BA from the Woman’s College in Greensboro (now UNC-Greensboro) in 1954\, followed by an MA in painting from Ohio State University in 1955. In 1963\, she was awarded a Fulbright to study in Austria with the renowned expressionist Oskar Kokoschka. Returning to North Carolina in 1964\, she became the founding head of the Art Department at UNC-Charlotte. In 1975\, she returned to Caswell County and joined the faculty at Averett College\, where she taught until her retirement in 1997. \nHer compositions spanned a wide range of themes\, from landscapes and figures to architecture\, abstract forms\, and patterns. She exhibited widely across the Southeast and received numerous honors\, including the American Academy of Arts and Letters award\, the 1984 North Carolina Governor’s Award in Fine Arts\, and an honorary doctorate from UNC-G in 1999. \nGatewood’s work is held in major public and private collections\, including the National Museum of Women in the Arts (Washington\, D.C.)\, North Carolina Museum of Art (Raleigh)\, Asheville Art Museum\, Weatherspoon Art Museum (Greensboro)\, Nasher Art Museum at Duke University (Durham)\, and the Coca-Cola Corporation (Atlanta). \nThough she traveled extensively\, Gatewood remained deeply engaged with her home state. She was the first woman elected to the Caswell County Board of Commissioners\, where she championed human services\, economic development\, and responsible land use. Her public service included roles with the North Carolina Arts Council\, the Piedmont Triad Council of Governments\, and the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners. \nMaud Gatewood Takeover celebrates not only a singular artistic voice\, but also a life rooted in service\, education\, and a profound connection to place.

SUMMARY:Determined: The 400-Year Struggle for Black Equality Traveling Exhibition from the Virginia Museum of History & Culture
DESCRIPTION:Determined: The 400-Year Struggle for Black EqualityA Traveling Exhibition from the Virginia Museum of History & Culture \nDetermined: The 400-Year Struggle for Black Equality is a powerful traveling exhibit that traces four centuries of Black history in Virginia through the lives and legacies of individuals who challenged injustice and helped shape the meaning of American democracy. Through their stories of resistance\, resilience\, and leadership\, the exhibit offers critical insights into the ongoing struggle for freedom and equality in the United States. \nDeveloped by the Virginia Museum of History & Culture (VMHC)\, this traveling exhibition is based on the original Determined exhibition\, which was on display in Richmond from June 22\, 2019\, to March 29\, 2020. It was created to mark the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in British North America and to honor the enduring impact of Black Americans in the face of slavery\, segregation\, and white supremacy. \nDetermined invites visitors to engage with the historical roots of present-day issues and to reflect on the work still needed to achieve a more just and equitable society. It honors those who have pushed the nation closer to its ideals of liberty and equality for all. \nExplore the virtual exhibit: Determined | Virginia Museum of History & Culture
