ATHENS -
The 3rd annual "Night in the Art
Gallery" reception is set to kick
off Saturday at Concord University,
opening a 2-week long display of artworks by students in Mercer County Schools.
The annual art exhibition, which is a partnership between Concord
University and Mercer
County Schools,
aims to bring attention to the importance of art in local schools. Student work
from PikeView, Princeton and Bluefield
High Schools will be on display
alongside work from Princeton and Glenwood
Middle Schools, and 3 elementary
schools.
"Art education teaches life skills such as articulating a
vision, learning to solve problems, building self-confidence and
self-discipline," said Dr. Lauri Reidmiller, Concord University Assistant
Professor of Art. "Creating art strengthens problem-solving and
critical-thinking skills, adding to overall academic achievement and school
success."
The reception will take place from 5 p.m. until 7:30 p.m.
in the Arthur Butcher Gallery in the Alexander Fine Arts Center in Athens.
The reception will include an interactive component, as
guests will be encouraged to create their own works of art, and watch
demonstrations by Concord University National Art Education Student Chapter
members. There will also be the opportunity to see pottery throwing
demonstrations by Concord University Assistant Professor of Art Jamey Biggs.
