The Smith Gallery will feature exhibitions throughout the month of work by senior art majors Ashley Brown, Katie Miles-English, Bree Simmons, and Laura Filosa. From April 21 through May 4, both galleries will feature the college’s annual Juried Student Exhibition, displaying the work of dozens of art majors and non-art majors. There is no charge to see any of the exhibits, which are open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. weekdays, and noon to 4:00 p.m. on weekends. Call 704-894-2519 for information.
Note
: If you have not visited the Belk Visual Arts Center, this is a perfect opportunity to see this wonderful cultural asset. This is the first time that the Royal Shakespeare Collection has been displayed out of the United Kingdom and it is well worth the free admission.
