A group of ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½ staff and faculty members who call themselves the Hidden Artists and create artwork on their own time will host an exhibit during August in the campusβ John C. Hitt Library.
βYou might find us in front of the classroom or in the office down the hall and yet never suspect the secret we share. We are artists,β says a news release promoting the show that will be displayed on the libraryβs main floor. An opening reception with the artists, refreshments and entertainment will be 3:30 to 5 p.m. Aug. 8 in the libraryβs Room 223, but the exhibit will be open all month during the libraryβs open hours.
Judy Bragg Pardo, who works in Student Development and Enrollment Services, organized the group, which is assembling its fifth exhibit.
Works from a dozen artists will be displayed on the libraryβs art wall and four glass display cases. The mediums and styles include photography, acrylic, watercolor, sculpture, mixed media, graphic and digital.
In addition to Pardo, the Hidden Artists in the show are Dawn M. Herrod, Jacqueline Johnson, Simona Loh, Meredith Malkin, Russ Muller, Fiona Murphy, Brian Pate, Diane Colvin Reitz, M.C. Santana, Bridget Savage and Tina Tran. Some of the artists have had their works in juried art exhibitions and at other galleries, said Pardo, who created one of her pieces to celebrate ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½βs 50th anniversary.
