May 11, 2009 — The University of Virginia's McIntire Department of Art will celebrate the life of the late James Hagan, founder of the department's sculpture and new media concentrations and professor from 1963 to 2001, with an exhibit of his work during Alumni Weekend.
"HAGAN! 1936-2008, The Intervening Years: Sculpture. Drawings, New Media, Boats," will be on view May 22 through June 7 in Ruffin Hall Gallery. The exhibit will be open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on the weekend of June 6 and 7 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A reception will be held June 5 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. All events are free and open to the public.
Students and friends are encouraged to share a memory or anecdote concerning Hagan, who died Sept. 13, for an anecdote/memory wall, which will be included in the exhibition. The collection will be installed unedited. Submit single-page submissions as an attachment to Millie Dean at mwd2f@virginia.edu, or send to: Millie Dean, McIntire Department of Art, P.O. Box 400130, Charlottesville, VA 22904-4130.

The exhibit includes works by Ashley Chipman (cinematography), Allison Harbin (photography), Rachel Singel (printmaking), Jeffrey Trueblood (painting) and Ashley Williams (painting/sculpture).
