Colorful annual exhibition runs through March 4 in the Larson Gallery.

The exhibition, which displays prints, drawings, photographs, digital images, paintings and sculpture from all 50 states and overseas, has in the past featured works incorporating such diverse materials as dried radishes and dryer lint. Art professor Ben Cameron, who mounts the show with student help each year, says the show has more color, variety and narrative this year.
"The strongest thing about the show is the use of the figure and the portrait," Cameron said. "Last year was so black and white. This year is so colorful."
Perhaps the most striking example is the huge, unsettling "Unnamed ID," by Stanley Scott, portraying a skull or flayed head in a sea of red.

The exhibit is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Paper in Particular is judged by an artist of national repute each year. This year's juror is Bradlee Shanks, an associate professor in printmaking at the University of South Florida and a master printmaker. His show "Mythmaker/Printmaker" ran in the Larson Gallery last November, and his work can be found at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, the Fogg Museum in Boston and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City.
Cameron says that about 300 entries were received but fewer than 70 selected for display. After the exhibit wraps, one artist's work will be spotlighted in a solo exhibit in the fall. One work also will be purchased for the Columbia College Art department’s permanent collection.

I live in Arlington, WA and can not come to the campus to see the Art. Is it possible that someone from the photo or art department can take pictures of the art and post them on the columbia sight so even long distance students can enjoy it also. Thanks

What Arthur said, it'd be nice for those of us off campus by some distance if a gallery could be put up online.
Many thanks,
Cat
