BSC's Durbin Art Gallery to Host New Exhibit

On Friday, October 2nd, from 6-8pm Birmingham-Southern College's own Durbin Art Gallery will open its new exhibit entitled "Visibilities: The Art of Negotiating Identity". The exhibit will feature artwork from 8 skillful artists around the United States and Canada and have themes pertaining to politics, sexual identity, and social issues. The exhibition, funded mainly through the Office of Multicultural Affairs, ALLIES , and a grant from the Mellon Foundation/Associated Colleges of the South, will last until October 23 and have many other events associated with it. During the duration of the exhibition existing on campus, there will be round-table discussions, speakers, receptions, film discussions, and more (For dates, times, and locations see http://csunx2.bsc.edu/CeisFutureEvents/FutureEvents.html.) The fact that "Visibilities: The Art of Negotiating Identity" will be BSC's first national invitational exhibition and will only be hosted by the Durbin Art Gallery for a few short weeks are only two of the many reasons to come out to enjoy this exhibit. Whether it is to take in the beauty of the featured artworks or to contemplate life events, this exhibit is not one you will want to miss.
