Posted by: DJ Stone

The art department at Arkansas Tech University is proud to announce the 2013 Senior Fine Art Exhibition, featuring the works of 10 graduating seniors. The public is invited to attend an opening reception to meet the artists on Sat., March 30, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.

The show is a long-standing tradition of the art department as seniors, preparing to pursue their studies in graduate school or to pursue careers as professional artists, showcase what they have learned during their undergraduate studies.

Participating seniors are Brian Shipman of Mountain View, Stephanie Stauffer of Vilonia, Dale Shanek of Fayetteville, DJ Comet of Benton, Amber Naylor of Beebe and Caroline Beech, Miranda Skelton, Tiffany Pritchett, Jessica Simpson and Jeannie Stone, from Russellville.

The artists choose individual themes to represent their art works. This year’s themes are eliminating world hunger, ending violence, the objectification of women, art as interior decor, touching temptation, animals from reality to impressionism, superheroes, and a collection of colorful figures with unique perspectives.

The 2013 Senior Fine Art Exhibit will be on display from March 30 through April 12 at Norman Gallery located on Tech's main campus in Russellville. The gallery closes one hour each day during the noon hour. For more information, call (479) 968-0244.
