"The Way I See It"

September 15-October 24
William Blizard Gallery, Front Gallery

Opening Reception: Tuesday, September 16, 4:00 to 5:30 PM at the William Blizard Gallery

Observation is a powerful skill that influences and inspires visual artists. When this aptitude is honed in an artistic practice with reflection, introspection, and experience, it can yield the unconventional. In this intimate, eye-catching exhibition, local and national artists share their idiosyncratic perspectives on art and life.​

"We'll Get There Eventually: A Print Exchange"

September 15-October 24
William Blizard Gallery, Main Gallery

Opening Reception: Tuesday, September 16, 4:00 to 5:30 PM at the William Blizard Gallery

An exchange celebrating the tenacity, resilience, and courage to face the average day. This process can take many forms, whether it be the act of getting out of bed in the morning, asking questions (even though you think they might sound silly), or enduring constant trial and error. These stumbles unite us; we are all trying, and we will all get there…eventually. The prints in this show, from 23 nationwide artists, feature printmaking techniques, including lithography, screenprint, and intaglio.
