CLARKSVILLE, TN – The Customs House Museum & Cultural Center would like to announce the upcoming exhibits, programs, and updates:
Exhibitions
Anthology of Place: Rachael McCampbell, Through January 2| Crouch Gallery. Rachael McCampbell teaches workshops in the U.S. and abroad in locales such as Ireland, Italy, England, Spain, and places in the U.S. such as Ghost Ranch, the Smokies, and other cities. She is a GOLDEN Educator and a brand ambassador for Holbein, Legend Paper, General Pencils, and Dynasty Brushes. She has created pieces for large, public installations and health care environments. Working recently, for example, with the architectural and design team for a new wing of Ascension St. Thomas in Nashville, Rachael created (with the help of a fabricator) computerized/motorized kinetic pieces for their lobby and gardens that rotate at different rates of speed and patterns. Her exhibition at the Customs House Museum includes oil paintings from her various travels and a large installation piece.

This led to his introduction to painting at the age of 10, a skill and passion that Caney carried on through his whole life and into his college education. As a result, paint has become his best means of expressing his attempts to understand theology and spirituality and to share his personal perspective on the world around him.
Beverly Ford Evans: His Mercy Is Over All That He Has Made, Through January 25 | Bruner and Orgain Galleries. Beverly Ford Evans presents a series of wildlife paintings in the Orgain and Bruner galleries of the museum. What inspired Beverly to return to her love of painting, after a career in interior design, was the beauty of her home state. Beverly captures its essence and shares it through her paintings. In recent years, Beverly has combined her love of the outdoors and animals into her art, and has become known for her wildlife, fowl, game, and sporting art. She has been inspired by the works of artists Bob Kuhn, Frank W. Benson, Tucker Smith, and Carl Rungius…
