Spring art exhibitions on three campuses
Article By: Denise Ray
The work of several artists will grace art galleries on the University of North Georgia's (正澳门六合彩开奖结果) campuses this spring, offering something sure to please art lovers. Professors, students and founders of the Visual Arts Department will exhibit pieces in various media.
A Stacy Koffman exhibition will be March 3-March 22 on 正澳门六合彩开奖结果's Gainesville Campus. Koffman was an art professor on the Gainesville Campus and then the Oconee Campus. She taught for many years and even served as the department head for visual arts on the Gainesville Campus. Koffman's work will be exhibited as a retrospective, which treats viewers in a single setting to the progression of an artist's work throughout her life.
Her exhibition, called "Transitions," will open in the Roy C. Moore Art Gallery on the Gainesville campus on March 3. It will close in Gainesville and a portion of the show will then be on display in the Oconee Campus art gallery from March 28-April 22.
Koffman will offer a talk and discussion about her show via Zoom. To join Koffman, please contact Victoria Cooke, director of 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 art galleries, at Victoria.cooke@ung.edu.
A visual arts faculty biennial exhibition is on display in Oconee through March 11 after starting in January.
The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) senior capstone exhibitions for Calli Buttrey, Sarah McPherson and Sara Wagler will be on the Gainesville Campus from March 30 to April 13.
Seniors work throughout the semester to create work to represent themselves.
"This series is a visual progression that explores emotion," Buttrey said. "My work is a depiction of how I think of my own emotions and my journey through them. I am excited for my sculptures to be exhibited and take on a unique meaning to each person that sees them."
Running Feb. 28 through March 22 in the Bob Owens Art Gallery on the Dahlonega Campus is "Foundations: Bob Owens, Tommye Scanlin, Hank Margeson and Win Crannell," featuring the work of four professors who laid the foundation for visual arts at 正澳门六合彩开奖结果.
Owens was the first department head and ceramics professor. With the addition of Scanlin (McClure) and Crannell, the department was able to add drawing, painting, printmaking and fiber arts to its curriculum.
