Old Dominion University’s Baron and Ellin Gordon Art Galleries presents Eclecticism, an exhibition featuring multi-disciplinary works as diverse as the artists themselves. Each unique voice from the Fall 2026 BFA graduating class brings ideas to the surface born from the desire to shine a spotlight on the important aspects of the world significant to the artists. The term eclecticism (from the Greek eklektikos, literally "choosing the best") refers to a philosophical refusal to follow one static system of being and choosing instead to forge one’s own path with ideas from many sources. This exhibition follows the eclectic tradition by proposing many alternate ways of seeing and experiencing the world. Featuring artists Tamia Anderson, Ashton Clark, Kaitlyn Compton, Stephanie Crock, Michael Edgar, Mariposa Estrada, Emma Goulart, Aliya Head, Lauren Nelson, Claudette Onwularu, Ichigo Parker, Ashely Rue, and Jacob Shea.
This exhibition will run December 4th through 12th, with a public opening reception on Thursday, December 3rd, from 6pm-8pm.
