Westminster to host gallery reception for DeGregorio exhibition

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. –  The Foster Art Gallery and the Department of Art and Theatre at Westminster College will host a gallery reception to celebrate the current exhibition Testament by mixed media artist Debra DeGregorio from 5 to 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 23.

The gallery reception will include a talk by the artist about her work in the show. Light refreshments will be provided.

DeGregorio's works range from large drawn and printed natural forms to bright "micro-installations" using collage, string and sequins on pins. Through her pieces, she explores her interest in psychology, mythology and humor. A Pittsburgh native, she teaches drawing at Youngstown State University. She earned her undergraduate degree in printmaking and drawing from Kent State University, studied ceramics and printmaking at the University of Akron and received her M.F.A. in printmaking from State University of New York at New Paltz.

DeGregorio’s exhibition will run until Feb. 14.
 
The gallery reception is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Summer Zickefoose, assistant professor of art and director of the Foster Art Gallery, at 724-946-7267 or zickefse@westminster.edu.

The Foster Art Gallery, located in Patterson Hall on Westminster’s campus, is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
