Word As Art

Exhibit Features Connections between Images, Words
January 25-February 10, 2012 - Ethel H. Blum Gallery

The All KnowingExtended to February 10!

The connection between words and art is as old as language itself. Numerous artists have incorporated words into their images, or combined poetry with painting. From January 25 through February 10, College of the Atlantic's Ethel H. Blum Gallery will be featuring contemporary pieces exploring this realm in the exhibit Word as Art. There will be an opening reception from 4:30 to 6:30 on Thursday, January 26.

Curator Ivy Sienkiewycz is commissioning and gathering the images - from photography to photo collages - from artists from coast to coast. Says Sienkiewycz, a second-year student at the college who is taking a curating independent study, "I have always really liked poetry and art together, seeing how words can inspire art, and art can inspire words."

For more information about the exhibit, which is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., January 25 through February 10, contact Sienkiewycz at isienkiewycz@coa.edu or 802-238-7804, or call the college at 207-288-5015.
