About the Curator:
"Over the past six years, my practice as an arts administrator has focused on working on public programs in arts institutions that are invested in evolving and developing the way that individuals relate to exhibitions, artists, and ideas. Public programs can have an immediate and profound impact on the relationship between a visitor and a museum that is based on experience. The most fulfilling part of what I do is to strategically think through a suite of programs, whether over the course of an evening, exhibition or broad subject, that is designed to offer a wealth of opportunities to engage with an idea because an engaged museum audience, regardless of the context of their visit, reveals art to be a vital and meaningful part of life on an individual and communal level."

The Positive/Negative is a national juried art exhibition, organized yearly since 1985, to provide the regional community of Southern Appalachia in Northeastern Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, and nearby states, access to dynamic contemporary art practices that explore current directions in visual art. For more than 30 years, the Positive/Negative exhibitions serve as platform to investigate formal pursuits by visual artists, and in its presentation provide opportunities for critical discourse within the academic and local communities.
Former Art & Design Chair, Prof. M. Wayne Dyer established the Positive/Negative National Juried Art Exhibition in 1985, on his first year as faculty and gallery director at ETSU. For the first juror of the Open National Juried Art Exhibition, he invited a curator from the National Gallery of Art from Washington D.C., the exhibition was a huge success that drew entries from different parts of the US. Since then, the Positive/Negative continues to serve the region as a survey of contemporary art practice, and educational showcase of current trends and ideas in visual arts. Its highly anticipated annual exhibitions are juried by nationally renowned artists and influential curators from prestigious institutions. The diverse work promote exchanges and discourse among the participating artists, the viewing public and the jurors who present public lectures and critiques during the awarding reception.
