Downtown gallery features Milligan student art


MILLIGAN COLLEGE, TN (February 4, 2004) — Twenty Milligan College photography and fine arts students will have an art show at the Nelson Art Gallery in downtown Johnson City this Friday at 7 p.m.

The show will feature photography and other forms of art, including oil painting, water color, sculpture and mixed media pieces.

“We appreciate Dick Nelson for giving us this great opportunity for students to display their work in the community,” said Alice Anthony, professor of the practice of art at Milligan.

The art show will feature nearly 50 pieces of art that reflect the students’ work over the last year. Students participating in the art show are mainly fine arts and photography majors and minors.

The photography of Kaci Campbell, a sophomore fine arts and photography major from Elizabethton, features local people and landscapes.

The art students are from a variety of states and countries and much of their work reflects the people, landscapes and culture of their area.

“Showing our art gives us the opportunity to fully finish our work because art is not completed until one shares it with others and is able to engage them,” said Evan Longfield, a senior fine arts and humanities major from Texas.

The Milligan art show will be up through the month of February and is free and open to the public. Several pieces will be available for purchase at the gallery.
