The Columbia Museum of Art announces the major exhibition Somethings Happening: The Big Art of Katie Pell, on view from Friday, August 17, through Sunday, October 28, 2018. Organized by the CMA, Pells first solo museum exhibition is an irreverent rite-of-passage narrative that uses the artists own life to explore the ordinary side of icons, the exceptional side of ordinary people, and the power of identifying your story. This exhibition is bold, ironic, unexpected, and fun, says Executive Director Della Watkins. The CMA is delighted to bring Pells distinctive artist-educator brand of wit and charm to the lively South Carolina arts scene. Pell makes work about lifes joys, pitfalls, and big slighted dreams. She embraces the beauty in imperfection and the humor in insecurities, welcoming the downtrodden and enveloping them affectionately
