Art Work to be Displayed at System Office In November, President Martin H. Lancaster invited the faculty, staff and students of North Carolina's Community Colleges to submit works of art for display in the System Office Building (Caswell Building) through 1998. Hundreds of submissions poured in from 35 colleges, filling several slide trays and dozens of file folders. Selections are now complete, artwork is arriving at the Caswell Building, and installation will begin shortly. An informal reception for the artists, college presidents and the state board will be held in mid-March. President Lancaster reported the following to the State Board at its January meeting in Raleigh: "At my invitation, more than 150 artists from 35 colleges submitted art works in all media for consideration to be placed in these areas for one year. I have personally chosen approximatety 70 pieces of art of all kinds to brighten the atmosphere and enhance the spaces where we all work and where so many visitors come each day. This also will be a graphic reminder of the talent which exists across our System." Below is a list of colleges with participating artists. Artists include full and part-time faculty in curriculum and continuing education programs: students: and non-teaching staff.
