UNI Department of Art to open annual faculty exhibition Monday, Nov. 5

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa -- The University of Northern Iowa Gallery of Art will open its "2001 Department of Art Faculty Exhibition" with a 7 p.m. reception Monday, Nov. 5, in the Kamerick Art Building.

The exhibition is scheduled to run through Dec. 2. Interim Director Darrell Taylor said all art faculty members have been invited to participate by showing three or four works they feel are their best. "This may be an unusual year in that there will be several faculty members exhibiting a new work that is unlike any they have done in the past in regard to form, content or medium. It should be a very exciting show," said Taylor.

The Gallery of Art is open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The Gallery will be closed Nov. 21-25 for the Thanksgiving holiday.

The exhibition is free and open to the public.
