Converse College in Spartanburg, SC, Features Works by Andrew Blanchard
The Milliken Art Gallery at Converse College
in Spartanburg, SC, will open its 2005-2006 exhibit season with
an autobiographical exhibit of the newest faculty member of the
college's department of art and design. The exhibit, This Boy's
Life, featuring works by Andrew Blanchard, assistant professor
of
printmaking and photography, will open Sept. 1 and run through
Sept. 30, 2005.
All of the pieces in the exhibit, which are lithographs and silkscreens on paper and masonite, reflect Blanchard's search for home and life on the road.
A native of Waveland, MS, Blanchard has been
included in over a dozen national and international juried printmaking
exhibitions, including the 30th Bradley International Printmaking
and Drawing Exhibition and the
last two Parkside National Small Print Exhibitions. He
has won awards for his lithograph-silkscreen combination prints
in the Sumei International Printmaking Exhibition and the
Delta National Small Print Exhibition. He is currently
included in the Refresh Print Biennial, a traveling showcase
on contemporary printmaking. In addition, his prints have been
collected throughout the United States, as well as Paris, France,
and Seoul, South Korea.
Founded in 1889, Converse College is an
independent, residential liberal arts college for women with a
professional school of music and graduate programs in education,
music, and the liberal arts. For more than 100 years, Converse
has been guided by one vision-to prepare women to approach the
world with intelligence and compassion. An emphasis on leadership
development and service learning coupled with career preparation
through a liberal arts foundation helps Converse students to find
their place among the successful and influential people of tomorrow.
Converse is consistently recognized by U.S. News & World
Report as a top college in the South, and is named to Colleges
of Distinction and The Best 201 Colleges for the Real World.
