    Date/Timing April 25 - July 11, 2026

    Series of artworks by Erin Smith Glenn that addresses Black hair culture in a way that demands its attention; begs to justify the discriminations against it; commands the viewer; and ultimately upholds the values of her ancestors.

    *OPENS on Saturday, April 25 from 6-8pm*

    Since her graduate school experience at the University of Cincinnati D.A.A.P. (Design, Architecture, Art & Planning) program in 2008, Erin Smith Glenn has been constantly examining, understanding, and developing what HAIRitage means to her, and how she can use it as a means to serve her community. From two-dimensional works to installations and interactive works, engaging the senses through this ongoing series addresses Black hair culture in a way that demands its attention; begs to justify the discriminations against it; commands the viewer; and ultimately upholds the values of her ancestors. 

    Opening Reception: Saturday, April 25 from 6-8pm

    Artist Talk: TBD (will be announced soon!)
