Two satellite exhibitions at Colorado State University will offer artistic perspectives of the long-standing turmoil in the Middle East and Northern Ireland. Invitational Poster Exhibition which begins Sept. 11 and runs through Oct. 24.
All events are free and open to the public.
The exhibit highlights work from both Palestinian and Israeli graphic artists that expresses opinions about the Middle East peace process. The exhibition was organized by the City Gallery of Contemporary Art, with the support of the Raleigh, N.C., chapter of the American Institute of Graphic Art. Curated by Dana Bartelt, a well-known artist and assistant professor of visual arts at Loyola University in New Orleans, La., the exhibition focuses on the need to end violence in the Middle East and the desire for peace from both sides. It is about a passionate and desperate show of desire of all people to want to live in peace, to grow and to flourish and to be allowed to raise their children with pride and joy. A collection of work from Northern Ireland artists that speaks to the country's virulent political turmoil is the theme of a second satellite exhibition at the Glass Gallery in the Visual Arts Building.
