USI MAC/Pace Galleries to present 2025 Efroymson Bridge Year Fellowship Exhibition
January 21, 2026
The Efroymson Bridge Year Fellowship Exhibition, Revelation by Amanda Meuth, is currently on display at the McCutchan Art Center/Pace (MAC/Pace) Galleries in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center on campus. The show will be on display through Monday, February 9.
Meuth was awarded the 2025 Efroymson Bridge Year Fellowship, funded by the Efroymson Family Fund. The Efroymson Bridge Year Fellowship is a competitive award program that provides a highly motivated and talented studio art, photography or design graduate of the University of Southern Indiana’s Art and Design Department with the opportunity to develop a strong portfolio in preparation for graduate study. The Fellowship allows the recipient to focus on their studio or design practice to expand their artistic vision and enhance their portfolio, to gain maturity as an art maker or designer and to successfully gain entrance to graduate school in their area of expertise.
Meuth is a keen-eyed and inquisitive multimedia artist who combines photography and sculpture to create spaces of investigation and contemplation. Revelation includes imagery that content visitors may find disturbing, including themes addressing sexual misconduct, exploitation and the abuse of power by persons in positions of authority. The views expressed in this exhibition represent the research and knowledge assembled by its curators and does not represent the views of USI, the USI College of Liberal Arts or the USI Art and Design Department.
The second exhibition on display is Reflection: A Dialogue Towards Faith and Religion curated by Katherine Medina-Martinez, 2025 Sanders Fellows.
Religion is a kaleidoscope of emotions and beliefs, with no single ‘right’ way to express it. It can bring up disputes of injustice, hope, admiration, confusion and hate, among other emotions. In this exhibition, a variety of artworks and manuscripts, from well-known artists to more contemporary and lesser-known creators, are used as a response to an underlying question: What does faith look like when shown through the eyes of artists from different cultures and eras? And how do personal experiences of religion shape artistic expression?
A reception for the exhibitions will be held at 3 p.m. Friday, January 23 in the Galleries.
The MAC/PACE Galleries are open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays.
