It’s part of the changing seasons. As people all over Columbia anxiously await the suspension of the heat index and a reason to put on more clothes, Planned Parenthood Health Systems sponsors an exhibition at Tapp’s Arts Center in which all the subjects of the art take them off.
It’s no secret; Figure Out, which just finished its 4th iteration at Tapp’s Arts Center, is one of Jasper’s favorite yearly exhibitions. And though the show came down this weekend, the art will linger on in our memories and on some of our walls.
But if you missed it, here are just a few of Jasper’s favorite pieces from Figure Out 2016.
