Faculty Exhibition 2009 at Middle Tennessee State University
August 31 - September 17
Opening Reception: August 31, 11:30AM - 12:30PM
The Todd Art Gallery at Middle Tennessee State University presents the Department of Art's 2009 biennial Faculty Art Exhibition. This exhibit features works of art by faculty members as a way to introduce their work to art majors, the broader campus population and the community. Their work in a range of media and styles including the representational, abstract and non-objective, through traditional media in a straightforward manner to mixed media with a "twist".
The faculty represent years of experience of productive work as evidenced by the extensive and ongoing record of exhibitions in juried and invitational shows. Each faculty member is an active working artist and visual art educator. Their personal work is invaluable to them and to their students who learn from the efforts and successes of their mentors in the art studio.
Participating this year are: Erin Anfinson, Michael Baggarly, John Donovan, Kim Dummons, Bob Durham, Janet Higgins, Jarrod Houghton, Sisavanh Houghton, Noël Lorson, Jean Nagy, Melissa Newman, Christie Nuell, Marisa Recchia, Meghan O'Connnor, Thomas Sturgill, Patricia Tenpenny, and Daniel Lai.
Following the Faculty Exhibition, an inaugural Department of Art/Student Art Alliance Show will be presented featuring the juried work of Department of Art majors and MTSU students. This is the first joint effort between the Department and students from across campus with an interest in Art. The Faculty Art Exhibition opens August 31, 2009 and runs through September 17.
This exhibition is free and open to the public. Hours are 8AM to 4:30PM, Monday - Friday, closing only on state and university holidays. For more information or directions, call Eric Snyder, Gallery Curator, at 898-5653.
