The Boise State University Alumni Juried Art Exhibit will open with a reception
at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4 at the Student Union Gallery. The exhibition of
works by alumni from around the region runs Oct. 4-31.
The opening reception will be held in conjunction
with closing receptions for exhibitions at the Boise State Visual Arts Center
galleries honoring the late George F. Roberts, a pioneer in non-toxic
printmaking and a longtime professor at Boise State. A retrospective exhibition
of prints by Roberts has been running in Gallery 2 in the Hemingway Center.
Gallery 1 in the Liberal Arts Building currently features an exhibition of works
by outstanding Boise State graduates who studied with Roberts. Both galleries
will host closing receptions on that same evening.
Refreshments will be provided, and the receptions
are free and open to everyone.
