NACOGDOCHES, TEXAS - Art metals and jewelry works by artists from
around the world are included in "REFINED VI: Back to Basics," which
the Stephen F. Austin State University College of Fine Arts and School
of Art will open at 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 30, at The Cole Art Center @
The Old Opera House in downtown Nacogdoches.
Each of the pieces was selected by Lisa Gralnick, jeweler and professor
of art at the University of Wisconsin, who is serving as juror for the
biennial competition and exhibition hosted by the SFA School of Art
since 1998.
At 5 p.m., Gralnick will give a gallery talk and announce the winners
of the $1,500 in prize money. The reception, scheduled to last until 8
p.m., will follow.
“Back to Basics,” the theme of this year’s competition, challenged
artists to use metalworking and jewelry techniques to both glorify
craftsmanship and provide relevant content to their work, explained
Christian Cutler, director of SFA galleries.
“Please join us at the opening as we celebrate the many themes and
working practices of metalworking artists from across the world,”
Cutler added.
"REFINED VI," which is displayed upstairs in the Reavley Gallery of The
Cole Art Center, will run through Saturday, March 20. Regular gallery
hours are 12:30 to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. on Saturday. Admission is free.
The Cole Art Center is located at 329 E. Main St. For more information,
please call (936) 468-1131.
