MESAROS GALLERIES: “Conjunction” Faculty Show
Fourteen WVU School of Art and Design faculty members spent the past two years working with printmakers at Artists Image Resource (AIR) in Pittsburgh to produce original art projects. Now they will display their interdisciplinary works at the Creative Arts Center’s Mesaros Galleries. Titled “Conjunction: Projects by WVU School of Art and Design Faculty,” the show opens Jan. 25 and continues through Feb. 26. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday, from noon to 9:30 p.m. The galleries are closed Sundays and University holidays. Special individual or group viewing times may be arranged upon request.

Wednesday, Jan. 27
_LUNCHTIME LOOK: Art Museum Docent Cookie Schultz
Students, faculty and staff, and members of the general public are invited to bring a brown bag lunch to the Museum Education Center Grand Hall at noon and meet with other art enthusiasts to enjoy their midday meal. At 12:30 p.m., the group will move to one of the museum’s galleries for a 20-minute, in-depth look at a work of art with one of the docents. This time, Art Museum docent Mary Louise “Cookie” Schultz will discuss Walter Quirt’s “Mural Study for John Reed Club” (1934). The session will be over by 12:50 p.m., so that those who need to get back to their offices will have plenty of time. Anyone who can’t get away for the entire hour is welcome to meet the group in the museum’s upstairs gallery at 12:30 p.m. for just the art presentation.

Thursday, Jan. 28
GALLERY TALK: School of Art & Design Faculty

All events are free and open to the public.

ENSEMBLE RECITAL: Wind Symphony, Men’s Chorus, Brass and Percussion Ensembles

It will also give one graduate student the chance to show what he’s learned in WVU’s School of Music. Stephen Lane, who is pursuing a Master’s of Music in Conducting, will lead the entire program, conducting the seven diverse pieces.
