“The Currency of Beauty” is a solo show featuring the paintings of Wisconsin artist Lizzie Wortham. Wortham’s recent work focuses on representations of young women on the path to discovering their own identities. For this exhibition, Wortham respectfully asked young women within her children’s circle of friends to allow her to use their “selfies” as source material. A gallery reception—free and open to the public—will be hosted from 5 to 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 16, with a gallery talk by the artist at 7 p.m. The exhibition opens Monday, Sept. 20 and runs through Oct. 21. Gallery hours are 1 to 7 p.m., Monday to Thursday. The Gordon Parks Gallery is located at Metro State University’s Saint Paul Campus on the third floor of the Library and Learning Center, 645 East Seventh Street. For more information about the exhibit, contact Erica Rasmussen, gallery director, at 651-999-5942 or erica.rasmussen@metrostate.edu.
