MILLIGAN COLLEGE, TN (April 24, 2012) — The annual Milligan College Juried Art Exhibition will be on display April 29 to May 4 in the Milligan Art Gallery, located in the lower level of Derthick Hall. There will be an opening reception on Sunday, April 29, from 2 to 4 p.m. The exhibit and reception are free and open to the public.
This exhibit showcases the top Milligan student art projects from the year. Only the best art, photography, sculpture and digital media projects will be selected for display. Awards of excellence and merit will be given to standout pieces.
“This is an excellent opportunity for the Milligan students to have their work critiqued by someone in the Johnson City art community,” said Alice Anthony, associate professor of art at Milligan.
The juror is Becky Hope Mallory, owner of Artopia, a fine art supply store in downtown Johnson City, Tenn.
Mallory is a partner in ART SPACE 4 Gallery in Greeneville, Tenn., where she shows her work. She has a bachelor’s and master’s degree in art education from East Tennessee State University. She retired from teaching art in Tennessee’s public schools, having taught at the kindergarten through 12th grade level for 31 years. She has served as an adjunct instructor at ETSU and is presently an adjunct art education professor at Tusculum College in Greeneville.
