VSU to host 'Works on Paper XII' exhibit
Some of the country's best works of art on paper will be
unveiled at the opening reception of the 12th annual ?Valdosta
Works on Paper? exhibition, March 19, at 7 p.m., in the Valdosta
State University Art Gallery (Fine Arts Building). The exhibit will
continue through April 13 and is open to the public free of
charge.
This exhibition will feature a diverse collection of artworks
including drawings, paintings, photography, mixed media and
three-dimensional paper constructions. A total of 38 artists from
20 states were selected out of 150 submissions for this year's
show.
Dr. Richard Cary, from Mars Hill College in North Carolina, will
serve as the judge for this year's competition. Cary is the former
chair of VSU's Art Department.
In selecting the finalist for this exhibit, Cary looked for artwork
of high quality that represented a wide range of contemporary art
as well as more traditional works. ?The exhibition has to function
as a harmonious entity with each artwork selected contributing to
the integral whole,? Cary said.
The VSU Gallery is open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. until
4 p.m. and until 3 p.m. on Friday. For more information, call the
Art Department at (229) 333-5835.
