Selected Art Faculty Exhibition at Schick Art Gallery Oct. 5-Nov. 5
The annual Selected Art Faculty Exhibition, featuring work by members of Skidmore's
studio art faculty, opens Thursday, Oct. 5, and remains on view through Sunday, Nov.
5, in the Schick Art Gallery.
An opening reception is scheduled from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Oct. 5 in the gallery, and
a gallery talk is planned at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 18. The exhibition, reception,
and talk are free and open to the public.
The Schick Art Gallery exhibitions committee has arranged for eight of 23 studio
art faculty to exhibit in this show: Leslie Ferst, Richard Linke, Trish Lyell, David
Peterson, Paul Sattler, Janet Sorensen, Peter Stake, and Joanne Vella. These eight
artists will show a larger number of works than faculty members have exhibited in
previous years, when more than 20 artists participated in the annual faculty exhibit
at one time. Similar small numbers of faculty members in groups will continue to rotate
for annual exhibitions.
Skidmore art faculty members have shown regionally and nationally, and most have
gallery affiliations in one or more major cities throughout the country, are represented
in numerous public and private collections, and have been the recipients of significant
awards. Most recently, Paul Sattler was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship earlier this
year.
The College's studio art faculty consists of 15 full-time professors and eight part-time
visiting assistant professors representing a wide variety of disciplines including
ceramics, communication design, drawing and painting, metals, photography, printmaking,
sculpture, fiber arts, and videography. In addition, there are 11 art history faculty
members.
Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 1 to 4:30 p.m. weekends.
Admission is free.
