Art produced by Georgia Southern University faculty and students will be up for sale this fall as the Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art hosts its annual Holiday Pottery Sale Nov. 19 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the Armstrong Campus in the Annex II building.
The sale features unique, artistic and functional ceramics and pottery pieces that incorporate many styles and techniques.
“We are really excited to continue the tradition of retired Professor John Jensen by offering a holiday ceramics sale on the Armstrong Campus,” sale coordinator, Kim Riner said. “This is an incredible opportunity for our students to have experience with the business side of art making. Students create artworks, price the work and interact with customers at this sale. This enhances their education, and it also gives them immediate response to their artwork.”
The event is free to attend, and cash and checks will be accepted. Social distancing and room capacity will be enforced.
Georgia Southern Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art to host senior exhibition on Armstrong Campus
Fortune telling through painted ceramic plates, abstraction with fibers and mixed media, and an installation about deep emotions will highlight “Meraki,” a senior art show presented by the Georgia Southern University Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art. The show is free and will run from Nov. 9 through Dec. 4 at the Fine Arts Gallery on the Armstrong Campus.
“Meraki,” which is a modern Greek term that describes the experience of an artist putting a piece of their soul into their work, will feature the work of Sylvia Asmar, Christina Colon, Lann Le, Rena Roland and Kim Vann.
“Working together with a group of four other amazing artists can bring challenges when trying to find commonality within each other’s works,” Asmar said. “However, we can all agree that as artists each of us put a piece of our souls and love into what we create because that is what we were destined to do.”
