Tech students display art at annual show

Jan 25, 2011 | General News, Liberal Arts

Forty-three Louisiana Tech students have been chosen to exhibit their work in this year’s annual student art show Feb. 1-15. A juried fine art exhibition open only to Tech students, the show is held every year in the School of Art and represents all media exploring any theme. This year’s juror, Kate Bingaman Burt, founded Obsessive Consumption in 2002 and documented her personal consumption in various mediums, including her first book, “Obsessive Consumption: What Did You Buy Today?” The School of Art received more than 70 submissions, but only 43 were chosen to exhibit. Bingaman Burt will speak about the show at 5 p.m. on its opening day, Feb. 1, in the School of Art galleries. The Louisiana Tech University School of Art galleries are located in the Visual Arts Center between Tech Drive and Mayfield Street, next to the Natatorium, and across from A.E. Phillips School. The galleries are open weekdays from 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Admission is free. For more information please call the School of Art at 318-257-3909.
