The 2024 FL3TCH3R Exhibit Highlights
"Make Your Vote Count to
Preserve Our Democracy"
 

The FL3TCH3R Exhibit:

The 2024 12th Annual FL3TCH3R EXHIBIT is an international juried exhibit focused on socially and politically engaged art. Socially and politicallyengaged art has been integral in creative expression since the beginning of visual arts. This exhibition explores the current trends and trajectory in this field and these collective creative works hopefully serve as an avenue or agent for societal transformation and exposure of social and political points of view. The goal is to recognize and advance this endeavor by providing a venue for the exhibition of socially and politically engaged art. Furthermore, the exhibit’s proceeds after expenses will fund the Fletcher H. Dyer Memorial Scholarship for an art and design student.

ABOUT FLETCHER:
Fletcher Hancock Dyer, age 22, was lost too soon in a motorcycle accident in Johnson City, TN on November 5, 2009. Fletcher was a senior in the Department of Art and Design at East TN State University pursuing a  concentration in Graphic Design under a Bachelor of Fine Arts program. Earlier, Fletcher used as a preface in an essay he wrote as a high school senior a quote byGerald W. Johnson, “Every great work of art is offensive to someone, for a work of art is a protest against things as they are and proclamation of things as they ought to be.” As an artist and graphic designer, Fletcher’s passion for art was a vehicle that allowed him to mirror his passion and marry it to his concern for social and political issues through visual means. Fletcher was always curious and aware of current events; he experimented in innovative ways to create works that investigate contemporary social issues. New, unexpected ideas and perspectives had unique ways of coming to the surface as a result of Fletcher’s creative means of experimentation. Fletcher wrote, “I dream of making a difference in some way with my art, I might attempt to right political, social, and religious wrongs by showing the rest of society a glimpse of how I feel about serious  issues in the world...Hopefully the awareness that I can help create will spark an interest in a movement that others will follow.” Fletcher’s work embodies a purposeful, deliberate perspective of his personal endeavor to employ art as social and political commentary.

THE FL3TCH3R EXHIBIT aspires to honor Fletcher’s legacy
by providing a venue for artists to exhibit artworks that
continue the dialogue. For more information:

Meaghan A. Dee

2024 FL3TCH3R EXHIBIT JUROR

Meaghan A. Dee is both a practicing graphic designer and design educator. She is an Associate Professor and Chair of Graphic Design as well as a Senior Fellow at the Institute of Creativity, Arts, and Technology at Virginia Tech. Meaghan also serves as a docent emeritus for the Letterform Archive in San Francisco. She served for six years (two as Co-Chair) on the AIGA Design Educators Community (AIGA DEC) Executive Board. Meaghan received her Bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois, with a focus in Graphic Design, and a Master of Fine Arts at Virginia Commonwealth University, with a focus in Visual Communication Design. Meaghan specializes in design and systems thinking, typography, branding, user-experience design, cross-media design, packaging, and experiential design. Regardless of the final output, Meaghan emphasizes core values, process, and design thinking. Examples of her work can be seen at :

 My practice weaves images and language together, across a variety of media. As an artist, designer, and typographer, I see my work as that of a translator, visually articulating ideas into a solid form. My work reflects that which I have been experiencing in the world, and I often process my thoughts and feelings through the act of making. When sharing my work, I consider how I am contributing to the collective zeitgeist and how the words and imagery we put into the world matter. Many of my recent projects explore contemporary issues, such as the pandemic, women’s rights, voting rights and access, and mental health. However, sometimes I will create works with sole intention of creating joy: making someone laugh, reminding someone to be gentle with themselves, or shifting focus onto small beautiful moments. Presently, I’m also challenging myself to be okay sitting in discomfort, to have more difficult conversations, and to question my assumptions and my institutions—and to let these changes and experiences shape the work that I produce.
