Bravo to incoming Photography graduate student Nolan Smock @nolansmock on this exhibit of recent work at the Mon Arts Center 👏 ❤️‍🔥 👏

“One more week left to see Elsewhere, upstairs in the Davis Gallery at Monongalia Arts Center. I’m grateful to have the chance to share my work from the past few years, and to find a welcoming arts community so soon after moving to Morgantown. I think I installed this show less than a week after we got here! The building, now used for art exhibitions, studios, workshops and community space, was once Morgantown’s post office. Someone told me this room was used to photograph men being drafted for war. Just food for thought.” Recent work by incoming Photography graduate student Nolan Smock

Congrats to Professor Michael Sherwin @michaeljsherwin + the Governors Honors Academy scholars on a successful workshop 📸 💙 📸

“After two busy weeks of photographing, experimenting, printing, and revising, students worked together to install their final cyanotypes for the GHA Academic Showcase this morning. The final display was a true collaboration, with students helping one another hang and arrange the work before sharing their projects with the public.”

Great to see rising high school students from across The Mountain State immersing themselves in photographic processes with Professor Michael Sherwin @michaeljsherwin 📸 💙 📸

“Welcome to Sunlight & Signal.

Over the next two weeks, Governors Honors Academy scholars at West Virginia University will explore Appalachia through photography and the historic cyanotype process. Using cameras, sunlight, and careful observation, we’ll create images that move beyond stereotypes to tell authentic stories of place.

Follow along as our work develops, from first walks and experiments to finished cyanotypes.”

Country Roads led these Mountaineers all the way to France for the GPS 19th Century Landscape, Art, and Photography Program. 🇫🇷📸 A group of people stands in front of the glass pyramid at the Louvre Museum in Paris. They hold a blue banner reading "Let's Go!" with a yellow symbol. The sky is overcast, and the historic museum building is visible in the background. The courtyard is filled with other visitors.

Thanks to the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum @wvminewars for sharing this powerful image by Class of 2021 Intermedia and Photography MFA alum Raymond Thompson Jr. @raythompsonjrphoto ❤️‍🔥

“The Dust” by photographer Raymond Thompson Jr. revisits the Hawk’s Nest Tunnel Disaster of the early 1930s, where an estimated 764 workers—primarily African American migrants—died from acute silicosis after drilling through silica-rich rock without protection.

Thompson reimagines this industrial tragedy bringing long-buried truths to light and centering Black laborers whose stories have been historically erased. His work invites viewers to reckon with the racialized dimensions of industrial sacrifice and the costs of economic ambition.

You can see more images from this series alongside the work of Earl Dotter and Stacy Krantiz in Entirely Preventable: The Toxic Legacy of Silica Dust from Hawks Nest to Black Lung, the current exhibition inside the Museum’s Solidarity Gallery.
