An art show is something we haven't done before, and we thought it'd be a nice event to add to the normal schedule. The exhibit's opening reception included music, finger foods and refreshments for the visitors who strolled the dimly-lit corridor of the gallery. Members of the band Windigo played interpretive pieces on guitar, bass and drums, adding to the atmosphere. Jill Dworzanski, co-director of Womyn's Concerns, said she thought the exhibit's opening reception was successful. The works of seven artists, University students Suzanne Bruening, Lisa Libutti, Lauren Luloff, Kelly Kehs, David Trost and alumni Barbara Metzner and Lauren Trost, are set up against the walls and in the center of the glass-enclosed gallery of Zoller.
Women are either the creators or the subject matter of all the pieces.
There are a number of paintings on display as well as several works of three-dimensional art. David Trost, the only male artist featured, said it was interesting to listen to the different interpretations he received for his ceramic and metal piece. On another wall in the gallery, Metzner, one of the alumni artists, has three of her paintings on display. Metzner graduated from the University in 1994 with a degree in sculpture. She said she was excited about the exhibit because it recognized women in art.
