Free Community-Wide Artist Reception on March 29
CONROE (March 19, 2012) - Lone Star College-Montgomery's art department presents an exhibition entitled “Fusion,” by ceramics artist Kira Kolandy, on display now through Friday, March 30, in the Mary Matteson-Parrish Art Gallery, located on campus in the Performing Arts Center (Building D).
A free, community-wide opening reception with refreshments will take place in the same location on Thursday, March 29, at 2 p.m. Please note that this is a new date for the art reception.
While ceramics, such as pots and bowls, have historically been used to store food and grains, Kolandy creates a bold new perspective to view such pieces. Her ceramic creations center around the idea of fertility, both feminine and masculine. By transforming what is traditionally a functional and pragmatic vessel into a new symbol, she instills her work with new meanings. Her art creates an awareness of the essential nature of ceramics in human history and the relevance of such works today.
The Mary Matteson-Parrish Art Gallery is a teaching gallery at LSC-Montgomery, and the presentations and artwork provided are free to the community. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
