Pinkney Herbert received his BA from Rhodes College and his MFA from the University of Memphis. Herbert is the recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Tennessee Arts Commission, and USIA-Arts America. He has exhibited throughout the US, Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia. His art is in numerous national and international collections and in the permanent collections of the New Orleans Museum of Art, Ogden Museum of Southern Art, Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, the Arkansas Arts Center, among others. He is also the founding director of Marshall Arts, an alternative gallery, performance, and studio space he established in Memphis in 1992. In November 2015, the Ewing Gallery of Art and Architecture at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville mounted a 30-year survey of Herbert’s work entitled Distilled: The Narrative Transformed, which traveled to Crosstown Arts in Memphis. Herbert has taught painting and drawing at the University of Georgia Study Abroad Program in Cortona, Italy, and also at the Penland School of Crafts, the Arrowmont School, the Telluride School of Painting, Rhodes College, the University of Memphis, and the Memphis College of Art. He has been a visiting artist at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN; the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki, Finland; the Institute of Fine Arts, Lahti, Finland; the Academy of Fine Arts, Prague, Czech Republic; University of Fine Arts, Hanoi, Vietnam; and the Oberpfälzer Künstlerhaus, Schwandorf, Germany.
Galen Gibson-Cornell was born and raised in Maryville, Missouri, in a family of classical musicians. In 2013, Gibson-Cornell finished his Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin, and for the academic year 2013–14, he was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to Budapest, Hungary, where he was a scholar at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts. His work there was formative for his exploration into street posters and other urban ephemera, as he focused on creating artworks using political campaign posters as subject matter. Since 2017, Gibson-Cornell has lived and worked in Philadelphia. Galen’s work is currently represented by Bertrand Productions Gallery in Philadelphia and TW Fine Art in West Palm Beach and New York City. His work has been exhibited across the United States and internationally, most notably featured in the Museum of Wisconsin Art, Poster House Museum (NYC), and the U.S. Embassy to the Republic of Togo. His work is in several notable collections, including 21c Museum Hotels, Microsoft, and the University of Texas Medical Center.
