WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY ART FACULTY TO PRESENT ANNUAL EXHIBIT

A selection of recent artworks created by members of the art faculty at William Paterson University in Wayne will be on exhibit at the University’s Ben Shahn Galleries from September 17 through October 19, 2007.  Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Admission is free.  A reception for the exhibit will be held on Sunday, September 16, from 3 to 5 p.m.

The exhibit, in Ben Shahn’s South Gallery, will provide insight into the creative process of the University’s diverse art faculty, which includes painters, sculptors, printmakers, and designers in every media.  Works featured in the exhibit include examples of painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed media, collage, furniture design, photography, textile design and printmaking.

The exhibit is one of three shows on view concurrently in the Ben Shahn Galleries.  “Prints and Company,” on view in the East Gallery, explores the current direction of various printed matter.  On view in the Court Gallery is “Facing Changing Times.”  The exhibit, which focuses on how the art created by Jersey City artists reflects their rapidly changing environment, is curated by Sandy DeSando.

This exhibit is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Ben Shahn Galleries are wheelchair-accessible.  Large-print handouts are available. For additional information, please call the Ben Shahn Galleries at William Paterson University, 973-720-2654.
