The Westminster College Art Gallery is hosting a unique art exhibit, "Fiberart Regional," through Oct. 26. The gallery is open to the public Monday-Saturday, 8 a.m.-9 p.m. and Sunday, noon-9 p.m.
A gallery talk by Mary Ann Klussmann, a 1964 Westminster College graduate and curator of this event, is scheduled Wednesday, Oct. 24, at 7 p.m.
Six artists, including Terry Carmen, Patricia Kennedy-Zafred, Mary Ann Klussmann, Carroll Labarthe, Sylvia Leo, and Shawn Quinlan have their works displayed in this exhibition.
Their work is made of ordinary or unusual materials that have been transformed into stimulating works of art that engage the eye and mind. There are unusual juxtapositions of the elements that refer to textiles, but borrow from other disciplines. This cross-disciplinary approach is evident throughout the exhibition, with a strong representation of sculptural forms.
This exhibition is in conjunction with displays that run concurrently with "Fiberart International" at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts and the Society for Contemporary Craft, and the regional exhibit in the Community College of Allegheny College.
For more information, contact Peggy Cox, director of the art gallery at Westminster College, at (724) 946-7266 or e-mail pcox@westminster.edu.
