ANL – The Wesleyan Art Gallery
The Bernice Coulter Templeton Art Studio gallery is now exhibiting in the following spring. The gallery works actively to establish the importance and significance of the visual arts relative to the environment that is present around our Wesleyan community. Previous art exhibitions comprised of an exhibit this Fall in September, and will now be following up with a possible art bash next spring in February, where students, staff and faculty gets to participate.
Professor Kit Hall, also known as the professor of art said that Wesleyan had lost the element of visual arts in so many years, and it is time to bring that back.
“Over the years, art has evolved outside of the consciousness of Wesleyan,” She said. “And, as an artist I find that awful.”
Now with the Bernes cultural Templeton studio, Hall has brought Wesleyan back in to the art community.
“In this way, the community at Wesleyan will have the option to pay a visit to the art gallery given possible day.” Hall Said.
The fall exhibition comprises of various artwork of two main up and coming artists Juan Cruz and Genevieve Armstrong. Both of their artwork contains two different concepts and they have built their own ballad for their masterpieces.
“Armstrong’s art work is, of her, and what it is like to be a 28-year-old female in this world, Juan presents his art based also on identity but also considering the challenges of culture.”
Hall said Both artists have the ability to include large content of work with just paper that are reflective and challenge the viewers personally and also socially she said. With the use of exhibitions, the gallery provides a central place for visitors to see these works of art.
The gallery encourages Wesleyan students to be a part of the community that is growing in the sense of good visual art.
“One of the goals of the gallery is to use it as a teaching tool,” professor Hall said. “Because this gallery is for Wesleyan students.”
The gallery appreciates any person with the skill to create. Today, art is seen in almost every aspect of many events. Hall said “With the use of art, the knowledge of the individual expands, and the question leads on to, how can art fit into everything. The truth is, it does,” she said.
Hall said the university has provided great support in making this gallery a success and a great learning experience for the visitors.
“I hope Wesleyan treats this gallery as a secondary class room,” she said. “Not just to appreciate the art, but to learn from it.”
