In the Beloved A new body of work by Alexis McGrigg

/// March 21 - July 19, 2026

Ogden Museum of Southern Art presents, In the Beloved, a new body of work by Alexis McGrigg, that merges fluid abstraction, spiritual inquiry and an exploration of Blackness as both a physical and metaphysical space. Influenced by dance, film, literature and spiritual philosophy, this series investigates the origin and transcendence of the soul from a third space McGrigg calls The Beloved. This realm is in constant metamorphosis, allowing Black souls to exist in continual transition and transformation.
