Because its always cause for a celebration when a contemporary university museum hangs a show devoted to contemporary realism,
here's a link to the Oglethorpe homepage.
In 1995 they hung a fantastic show titled
"The Spirit and the Flesh: Contemporary American Realists," paintings by Ben Long, Richard Maury, D. Jeffrey Mims, and Nelson Shanks.
That catalog is also still available at the Oglethorpe site and is a steal at $15.
