Exhibition boosts students' art experience

More than 100 artists had works featured in the fifth LaGrange Southeast Regional exhibition—and LC students had the opportunity to meet many of them.

“This event gives people from our community and surrounding areas the chance to experience art made throughout the Southeast,” said Austin Wieland, Lovick P. Corn Associate Professor of Art and Design. “Our students get exposed to artists working in a variety of mediums and materials, which they can be influenced by in their own work and studies.”

Hosted at Lamar Dodd Art Center and LaGrange Art Museum, the show’s 149 works run from painting to metalwork and more, and thanks to the support of Callaway Foundation, Inc., some of them will be added to the museums’ permanent collections.

The exhibition will run through April 6 at Lamar Dodd Art Center and April 23 at LaGrange Art Museum.
