The ETSU Department of Art & Design and Slocumb Galleries in partnership with the Honors College, Department of Theater & Dance and the Women's Resource Center present 33rd Positive/Negative National Juried Art Exhibition from March 1 to April 6, 2018. This year's juror is Margaret Winslow, Curator at the Delaware Museum of Art. The awarding reception is on March 29, Thursday, at 5 p.m., with the Juror's lecture at 6 p.m., at the Ball Hall Auditorium.
The Positive/Negative is a national juried art exhibition, organized yearly since 1985, to provide the regional community of Appalachia in Northeastern Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, and nearby states, access to dynamic contemporary art practices that explore current directions in visual art. For more than 30 years, the Positive/Negative exhibitions serve as platform for dialogue to promote diversity, creative excellence and critical thinking within the academic and local communities.

Winslow has curated exhibitions for the Neuberger Museum of Art and The Delaware Contemporary and assisted with exhibits for the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum.
