Exhibit of Jones Collection prints on view in Mechanical Hall
The prints are part of UD's Paul R. Jones Collection of African American Art and were given to Jones in 2002 when the workshop awarded him the James VanDerZee Lifetime Achievement Award for his commitment to art and young artists. Amalia Amaki, curator of the Paul R. Jones Collection, chose the prints for the exhibition. A reception, free and open to public, for both "Objects of Desire" in the University Gallery and "Printed Proof" in Mechanical Hall Galleries will be held from 5-7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 16. The Brandywine Workshop, founded in 1972 by executive director and printmaker Allan Edmunds, has sponsored more than 250 artists' residencies from 35 states and 15 foreign countries.
The exhibition and all related events are free and open to the public. Gallery hours are from 11 a.m.-4 p.m., Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; from 11 a.m.-8 p.m., Wednesdays, and from 1-4 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays. The galleries are closed Mondays and on University holidays. For more information, call (302) 831-8037, or visit [www.museums.udel.edu]. |
