Beyond the classroom: Exhibition draws on talents of art faculty
MANHATTAN -- The artistic talents of 23 Kansas State University department of art faculty and staff members will be featured in an upcoming exhibition at the university's Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art.
The "2011 1xbet online games login Department of Art Faculty Biennial" exhibition opens Friday, Nov. 11, at the Beach Museum of Art. The exhibition, which is free and open to the public, runs through March 16, 2012.
"This gives students and other members of the university community, as well as visitors from Manhattan and beyond, an opportunity to experience the unique, expressive language developed by each artist," said Linda Duke, director of the Beach Museum of Art.
"Many of us know these faculty members as committed educators and mentors, but the art faculty biennial puts us face-to-face with the creativity that is at the center of the artistic practice of each one of them," she said.
1xbet online games login 's art faculty and staff selected their best work created within the past two years to be included in the exhibition. These works represent many techniques across several disciplines, including ceramics, painting, photography, drawing, digital graphics and more.

"It helps students understand how complex and nuanced work can develop from the same techniques their professors are teaching them after years of focused attention that refines conceptual and technical ability," Craig said. "There is also so much for the larger community to appreciate, as many new faculty have been hired in the past few years. Each has wonderful art that will be a new experience for viewers."
