carlvanvechtengalleryAs Chancellor Zeppos often notes, “Vanderbilt University has many living pioneers. Some Vanderbilt pioneers are on campus. Come celebrate these pioneers with us.”

Vivien Fryd, professor of history of art, is among the Vanderbilt pioneers who will be honored at a reception hosted by Fisk and Vanderbilt Universities at Fisk’s Carl Van Vechten Gallery on September 23 from 4 to 5:30 pm.

Fryd was Vanderbilt’s first female full professor of history of art (2003-present) and the first female chair of the Department of History of Art (spring 2009-spring 2012).

The Carl Van Vechten Gallery houses the Alfred Stieglitz collection among other Fisk art collections and is currently hosting photographs by Lucius Outlaw, Vanderbilt professor of philosophy.  Among the sponsors of the event are Vanderbilt’s Bishop Joseph Johnson Black Cultural Center, Office of the Provost, and Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

After the reception, participants are invited to attend Saturday night’s Jefferson Street Art Crawl, a monthly night of art appreciation in North Nashville.  The Carl Van Vechten Gallery joins Woodcuts Gallery, historic McJempsy Center, Garden Brunch Cafe, One Drop Ink, Harambee House, Jefferson Street Sound, and Alkebu-lan Images in hosting the Jefferson Street Art Crawl beginning at 6 pm.  The event engages community and highlights art along this historic art corridor as well as the North Nashville community.
