Florida Southern exhibits faculty art

LAKELAND, Fla. (Oct. 5, 2001) - Florida Southern College will feature the art of its faculty members in the Melvin Gallery beginning Oct. 16 and running through Nov. 9. Peter Frank, editor of "L.A. Weekly," will give a gallery talk at noon on Oct. 16.

The exhibit will include the works of at least eight faculty members. "The FSC faculty walked away with half the awards in last year's exhibition of faculty artists from Florida's private colleges and universities," said department chair Dr. James Rogers. "We'll be seeing some good work from them this year."

The Melvin Gallery is open weekdays from 1 to 4 p.m. and before and during intermissions of most FSC Festival of Fine Arts performances. Admission is free.
