\ WSSU's Diggs Gallery to Host Exhibit and Scholars' Lecture Series The James T. Diggs Interdisci plinary Lecture Series 1993-94 is organized by the Diggs Gallery at Winston-Salem State University and is fun4ed-by WSSU and a grant from the North Carolina Arts Coun cil. Diggs Gallery believes that the visual arts affect all facets of life _ and are interdisciplinary in their very nature. The lecture series will explore how scholars form different disci plines approach art and will demon strate the numerous ways one can respond to art. Furthermore, the series will reveal the wealth of perspectives from which one can begin to inves Jtgate art. Diggs Gallery hopes to illuminate the role art can play in all of our lives while also eliminating the "intimidation factor" so often associated with the arts. The 1993-94 series includes talks and performances by a poet, storyteller, a printmaker, a historian, an art historian, a minister, an anthropologist and a musical group. Some of the lectures in the series have been highlighted in this column in recent mc^nths. Fortu nately for us, there are still four more lectures scheduled in 1994.
