Gregory Dowler Ivy was the first modern artist to live in North Carolina. He created the art department at Woman’s College (UNC-G), founded the Weatherspoon Art Museum and the Durham Art Guild. While he was in Greensboro, his art department was ranked in the top twenty in the nation. He was very influential in North Carolina’s 20th century cultural life, and he was mentor to scores of artists including those in this exhibition which honors him.
