The first major art exhibition for Kress on Dexter, This is where you’ll find me reminds us that home — in all its complexities — is the inspiration for art and identity. Showcasing some of Alabama’s most revered artists, many works on view hit social injustice head-on, while others operate more subversively. Some works preserve and revere relics of the rural past, while others repurpose them to re-imagine their meaning. As visitors move through This is where you’ll find me, it unfolds as a reminder that we are the sum of our collective parts — the shiny, the tarnished, the sacred. This is a story of the life-giving work of art.
