Westminster College Art Gallery Hosts "Myth, Legend & Folklore"
The Westminster College Art Gallery is currently hosting "Myth, Legend & Folklore: Visions from the Collective Consciousness" through Sept. 20. The gallery is open Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-9 p.m., and Sunday, noon-9 p.m.
"We are proud to present this show, 60 works from 43 of our members," said Frederick H. Carlson, president of The Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators. "In this show there is the historic, the contemporary, the humorous, the cerebral, the lowbrow, and the classic. There are many surprises from some familiar names, and that's what theme shows are all about. We have to remember to have a good time while we're doing what we love to do for our livelihoods. That's not a myth."
Westminster College will also host a gallery talk and reception Tuesday, Sept. 14, at 7 p.m., where Carlson will talk more about the exhibit.
