HCC Plans 1st Annual Art Exhibit

Halifax Community College plans to host its first annual art exhibit. The goal is to provide an opportunity for area residents to showcase their art. This year's title—Art Moves In Diverse Ways—highlights the rich cultural diversity in the Roanoke Valley. The exhibit will include works submitted by area school students and a public competition in which all media will be accepted, including paintings, drawings, graphic design and animation, photography, quilting, pottery, stained glass, jewelry and beadwork, weaving, woodcarving, metalwork, sculpture, film and video.
The artwork will be selected and judged based on original and effective portrayal of the exhibits theme.

Judging took place at a reception on January 11, 2003. Artwork selected will remain on display at the college through November, 2003.

Members of the committee include Joy Cooley and Wendy Ferguson (Co-chairs), Gloria Tysinger and Mary Tillery (HCC), Tyus Few (Halifax County Schools), Christina Gregory (Roanoke Rapids City Schools). Susie Strickland (Northampton County Schools) and Yolanda Pierce (Weldon City Schools).
