Inaugural Small Works Invitational

Arts West Gallery

January 12 - January 28, 2009

Reception: Monday, January 12, 12 - 1:30

We had nearly 100 submissions for this exhibit. Included is work from neighboring institutions like Guilford College, UNCG, NCState, NCSchool of the Arts, as well as institutions like Penn State and Albright College. We received works from California, New Mexico, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, South Carolina, and NY. The 2D works ranged from intaglio, silkscreen, and lithography to oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings; the 3D work included ceramic, bronze, silver and plaster sculpture. This is the inaugural exhibition of the SWI, and it will occur every year. The gallery director, Michael Fels, plans to continue its wide-reaching spectrum and hopes to eventually receive enough work to fill both galleries and publish a catalog with the exhibit.
