Art Faculty Show opens in M-Hall

Chadron State College’s Art Department held an opening reception for their annual Faculty Art Show, “Then and Now” in Memorial Hall from 3-5 p.m. Wednesday.

A total of 12 artists were featured in the bi-annual show, four of which are current faculty members Richard Bird, Laura Bentz, Mary Donahue and Nancy Sharps. According to the Chairman of Visual and Performing Art, Richard Bird, the eight other artists were former faculty members for CSC who taught here from as early as 1957.

“We all are producing work and showing at different exhibits around the country so this is one of the few times the campus gets to see our work. What’s unique about this show is that it is in honor of Chadron’s Centennial,” said Bird.

The department scheduled three gallery showings to connect the “Then and Now” theme into the Centennial. The first show took place last fall and featured over 40 CSC alumni, the second, happening now, features faculty members, and a final show will take place in the fall.

The CSC Faculty Art Show is open until March 25. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
