Formerly a course at SFA called Pen & Pigment, Words of Art is a student organization-led collaborative event that presents contributors with a publication and exhibition opportunity. Students who participated in Pen & Pigment engaged with one another to produce cohesive paintings and poetry that effectively correlated their disciplines. Words of Art re-envisions the idea of interdisciplinarity by expanding the accepted disciplines and by being facilitated by student organizations Subplots and Art Alliance. The goal was to increase the flexibility and increase the disciplines involved in the event.
An opening reception for “Re-Visions” is scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday, Feb. 6. The public is invited to celebrate the contributors and the people who made this event possible. Attendees will have the chance to show their support by voting for the People’s Choice Award, highlighting the artist and writer who best accomplished this interdisciplinarity.
The gallery hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information, contact Megan Bynum, Art Alliance president, at (325) 998-5425 or bynummc1@jacks.sfasu.edu.
