Faculty, staff art exhibition set for
Aug. 22

Did you know that you or one of your co-workers could be a painter, sculptor or photographer? You could be sharing an office with the next Vincent van Gogh or Annie Lebowitz. Discover your talents or those of your co-workers during the Artistic Expressions art show, showcasing artistic creations by the Health Science Center's own faculty and staff. The event will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 22, in the auditorium foyer. Tickets, which are on sale, are $10 and can be purchased in the office of public affairs, room 306L, or in the office of external affairs, room 301L. Cash, checks or credit cards will be accepted.

Enjoy creative works from more than 50 Health Science Center faculty and staff members in more than 34 departments and divisions. Attendees will enjoy piano music performed by Dr. Toni P. Miles, family and community medicine, and Dr. Steven A. Wartman, dean of the Medical School and executive vice president of academic and health affairs. Delicious wines provided by Becker Vineyards and cheeses provided by Sun Harvest Farms will be available. A door prize, provided by Kurt Youngblood Art & Framing, will be given away.

Proceeds from the event will go to the newly formed Student Catastrophic Aid Fund. The fund will provide assistance to students with special financial or medical needs.
