We ART Marshall

VAC Gallery showcases MU visual arts history

Guests attend A Strolling Celebration for the grand opening of Marshall University’s Visual Arts Center in downtown Huntington on Sept. 20. The event celebrate current and former influences of the building’s renovation.

BY HALEY WADE The Parthenon Marshall University’s new Visual Arts Center has been getting a lot of attention from students and staff recently, and now a new tour being offered to those out- side of the school is letting the public catch a glimpse inside. From the building’s new layout to the art exhibits within, the center offers an abundance of new sights to see. We ART Marshall is an exhibit that displays the work of artists who have helped the School of Art and Design progress and made the VAC a reality. The work displayed shows a historical representation of the school, with some pieces dating back to 1930. During the showcase, Huntington’s public is invited to view the exhibition 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. until Nov. 7. Gallery Director Megan Schultz said she is happy with the public response to the exhibit so far. “Public response to the exhibit has been great,” Schultz said. “Many visitors are former students of the artists represented in the show.” Schultz said those displaying their work at the VAC were excited to be a part of the building’s inaugural event. “The artists who I have been able to speak with di- Student and faculty artwork is displayed during A Strolling Celebration for the grand opening of Marshall rectly all seemed very happy and flattered to have been asked to be a part of the show,” Schultz said.

It really gets myself, as well as other students, inspired.” Grimaldi said the tours are not only a great showcase to the public, but a hands-on way to influence future artists. “As far as the public, it encourages younger genera- tions who are interested in art to be exposed to the different kinds there are to offer,” Grimaldi said. Schultz said she is pleased to see the tours have ex- posed the Huntington community to what the VAC has to offer. “I think the tours have generated a lot of interest in the arts program at Marshall,” Schultz said. “Everyone that I’ve spoken to on tours is amazed by the new facilities.” Schultz hopes the exhibition not only pleases the pub- lic, but the students who utilize the building as well. “I hope that by showcasing the work of artists who have driven the art program over the years, the students will feel a sense of pride for the institution that they are a part of,” Schultz said.
