The Reece Museum, in cooperation with Grey Carter-Objects of Art, will present Appalachian Dream Mechanics: Twenty Years of Art by JJ Cromer. Carter will curate this exhibition, which will be on display from January 10 to March 11, 2022. A reception is planned for Thursday, March 3, from 5-7 p.m.

Appalachian Dream Mechanics features drawings and paintings that explore the artistic journey of JJ Cromer, a self-taught artist and Appalachian native from Southwest Virginia. For over twenty years, Cromer has been creating artwork and Grey Carter has been collecting it. First introduced to Cromer’s work in 1999, Carter was truly impressed, saying “I saw raw talent, and have seen JJ grow significantly as an artist.” Grey Carter--Objects of Art began exhibiting and selling Cromer’s work in 2000, and Cromer’s work has been recognized and collected by art galleries, museums, and individuals throughout the United States.
