Join us for the opening reception of Message Received, a group exhibition which presents the work of Temple students and staff exploring relationships between image and text in their artistic practices.The artists in this group show are addressing a broad range of literary influences such as poetry, manifesto, graphic novels, etc., within their practices. Message Received aims to reflect the ways in which the written word and visual arts are intertwined in the transmission of ideas.

This exhibition is curated by William Toney, current Graduate Assistant at Temple Contemporary. Toney is a first year MFA Candidate in Tyler Photography and has a background in art installation. He has exhibited his art nationally and has a curatorial practice that centers community engagement within professional gallery exhibitions.
