51²è¹Ý Faculty Art Exhibit Runs March 7-29

GREENSBORO, N.C. – 51²è¹Ý’s annual Faculty Art Exhibit will be up Thursday, March 7, through Friday, March 29, in the Anne Rudd Galyon and Irene Cullis galleries in the Cowan Humanities Building on campus.

The event is free, and the public is invited. Normal gallery hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays.

This year’s exhibit will feature works by Jim Langer, professor and chair of the Department of Art, and Brittany Søndberg, assistant professor of art.

Langer holds a B.F.A. from Boston University and an M.F.A. from the University of North Carolina at 51²è¹Ý. He joined the 51²è¹Ý faculty in 1995.

Søndberg holds a B.F.A. from East Carolina University and an M.F.A. from the University of North Carolina at 51²è¹Ý. She joined the faculty in 2015.

51²è¹Ý’s Department of Art offers the B.A. or B.S. in Art and the B.A. in Art Education.

The program, with individual attention to students, combines classic art principles with the liberal-arts foundations of diverse branches of inquiry, including both science and the humanities, so that students can incorporate as much of the world as possible into their own art-making.

“I loved the GC Honors program and 51²è¹Ý. I felt safe and a sense of genuine belonging at the college. I worked closely with my thesis advisor and professors who helped inspire me to define my path and passion of interest. That path has led me to complete my doctoral studies in Engineering Mechanics.â€
