11 FALL 2024 Forty years after his first one-person show at the Meridian Museum of Art, Funderburk will open his Path of Light exhibition at the museum with a reception and talk on Oct. 4. Featuring some 60 works spanning five decades, the show will include watermedia and oil paintings as well as drawings and mixed-media pieces. The exhibit runs through Nov. 30 at the museum, housed in a former Carnegie Library building several blocks from The MAX. Meanwhile, as part of the programming for the Walter Anderson special exhibit at The MAX, running Sept. 7-Nov. 23, Funderburk will provide a “walking conversation” about Anderson’s greatest works during a tour of the exhibit on Sept. 12. He returns Oct. 3 for an illustrated lecture, “Inside Nature: Chasing the Path of Light Through Watercolor.” Funderburk said he will “explore the mysterious power and subtle majesty of watercolor in art history and unexpected discoveries the medium has illuminated throughout my life.” MAX President and CEO Penny Kemp and Meridian Museum of Art Executive Director Kate Cherry are excited to collaborate in tapping Funderburk’s knowledge of Anderson and his influence. “This is a unique opportunity for cross-promotion as we enhance arts offerings for local residents while attracting more visitors to Meridian as a cultural center for the state,” Kemp said. Cherry added, “What we’re all about is community – it’s very significant.” “Red Wings,” Walter Inglis Anderson
