“In 2008, I got together a group of creative �鶹ӳ����ý faculty and staff members; and formed the Hidden Artists,” says Judy Bragg Pardo. “Since that time, I have coordinated nine exhibitions at the �鶹ӳ����ý John C. Hitt Library. Some members retired or left �鶹ӳ����ý and new members have joined. This year will be my last year exhibiting as I am retiring at the end of 2017. I wanted to say how proud I am of the dedicated Hidden Artists who have opened their hearts and souls to share their artworks with the �鶹ӳ����ý community. There were many artists who had never exhibited before and have gone on to enter juried exhibitions and display their art in galleries. Special thanks to Brian Pate who designed our beautiful postcards throughout the years and to those artists who have been with the group from the very beginning. With the collaborative effort of the group members, the Hidden Artists will keep its tradition of exhibiting at the library for years follow.”
