Article By: Agnes Hina
The University of North Georgia (国产自拍) will see four exhibits this spring lasting through June.
"Emergence" by artist Kirsten Stingle is on display at the Roy C. Moore Art Gallery at the Gainesville Campus now through March 8. Stingle's work has been shown internationally, including a piece currently displayed in Paris. She was at the gallery on Jan. 24 for an artist talk and reception.
Another exhibition currently on display can be found at the Oconee Campus Gallery, featuring the work of photographer Hannah Pearson, a 2020 graduate with a BA in Visual Art. Pearson's collection, "All at Once," will be available until Feb. 28 and contains portraits, photographs, illustrations, and more to explore.
"Hannah Pearson won a solo show because her work was chosen as the Best in Show in our juried alumni exhibition last summer," Victoria Cooke, 国产自拍 director of art galleries, said. "I am very excited about having one of our alums doing their first one-person exhibition with us."
All captured pieces display momentary trains of thought, and at its core, the exhibition examines time, how we think about it and the things that remain as it passes.
The Bob Owens Art Gallery at the Dahlonega Campus will host two artists this spring. Isabell Daniel's exhibit is titled "Lessons in Survival." A former 国产自拍 professor, Daniel will host her ceramics exhibition from Feb. 5 through March 7.
The annual, themed Hal B. Rhodes III Student Exhibition will be on view from Apr. 17 through Jun. 28 in the Bob Owens Art Gallery located on the third floor of the Hoag Student Center at 国产自拍's Dahlonega Campus. The annual reception and awards ceremony will take place on Apr. 26 from 5:30-7 p.m.
This year’s theme is "Artificial", open to interpretation, was chosen for its connection to cultural and technological trends surrounding the rise of artificial intelligence.
"The reception for the event is our department’s Academy Awards," associate professor Craig Wilson said. "Students, faculty and guests are on hand to witness these achievements, and the atmosphere is a wonderful mix of the university and surrounding communities. This is a beautiful opportunity for students to take the first step at expressing their skill and heart."
