Work of ECU
Art Faculty
On Exhibit
An exhibition of works by the art faculty
of East Carolina University will be on view
during February in the Chowan Art Gallery.
The exhibition is sponsored by the N.C.
Museum of Art in Raleigh and its Traveling
Exhibitions Program and was organized
with the assitance of Dr. Richard Laing,
dean of the School of Art at ECU, and Randy
Osman, director of ECU’s Gray Gallery. It
will travel throughout the state for one year.
Featured in the exhibition are 20 works by
15 faculty members of ECU’s School of Art,
representing the fine arts divison, art
education, interior design and communica
tion arts. In addition to a work by Laing, the
exhibition includes works by William
Holley, chairman of Art Education; Betty
Petteway, director of graduate studies in
Art; and Mel Stanforth, chairman of In
terior Design.
A variety of media is represented, though
only two-dimensional works have been in
cluded because of shipping and handling
,considerations. Most of the pieces in the
show are for sale.
The Traveling Exhibitions Program, in
itiated almost two decades ago, continues to
be one of the museum’s most popular
^statewide services. The program provides
'traveling shows to any non-profit organiza
tion which can meet lighting and security
requirements.
