The exhibit, titled 2009 Faculty Exhibition: Showcasing the Artworks of New and Adjunct Faculty in the Department of Art and Design, will be on display in the Birke Art Gallery.
"We have a diverse and talented faculty in our department," Byron Clercx, chair of the Department of Art and Design, said in a news release. "In this exhibition we chose to feature our new and adjunct faculty. We wanted to announce the arrival of these new artists to the campus and local community. Additionally, we felt it was appropriate - and somewhat overdue - to allow the adjuncts to share the stage."
New full-time faculty represented in the show include Miyuki Cook, Daniel Kaufmann, Natalie Larsen and Eric Ruegg. Adjunct faculty include Linda Anderson, Daniel Cook, Mark Earnhart, John Farley, Natalie Gibbs and Kristin Zammiello.
Farley, who is also director of the gallery, notes the breadth of the work displayed at Marshall University.
"Among the numerous disciplines represented are painting, drawing, prints, sculpture, jewelry, photography and textiles," he said. "The skillful and eclectic nature of this show illustrates the broad range of talent in our faculty."
A reception will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3. The event includes a "slide jam" at 6 p.m. in 154 Smith Hall, with reception to follow in the atrium outside the gallery. The slide jam is a compilation of brief visual presentations by each participating artist of a broader spectrum of his or her work.
The Birke Art Gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday evenings. It is located in Smith Hall on the corner of Hal Greer Blvd. and 3rd Avenue in Huntington. Admission is free and all events are open to the public.
