Guilford College in Greensboro, NC, Features Faculty Exhibition
Guilford College in Greensboro, NC, is presenting its Biennial Faculty Exhibition at the Guilford College Art Gallery, located in Hege Library, featuring works by Guilford's Art Department Faculty through May 5, 2006.
In conjunction with the college's theme-year focus on Spirit & Spirituality, the artists will discuss their thoughts on spirituality and the creative process in a panel discussion on Apr. 13, at 7:30pm. Both the exhibition and discussion offer opportunities to consider new developments in the work of these artists. A range of media including painting, sculpture, photography, and ceramics will be exhibited.
Faculty exhibitors include: Heea Crownfield (mixed media), Maia Dery (photography), Todd Drake (painting), David Newton (sculpture), Roy Nydorf (sculpture & printmaking), Charles Tefft (ceramics), and Adele Wayman (painting).
