USA Library Hosts "DepARTmental" Art Exhibition

The University of South Alabama will be hosting an art exhibition, "DepARTmental," featuring the work of five artists -- all of whom are former or current employees of the USA College of Medicine.

The exhibit, which is free and open to the public, will take place Jan. 5 through Feb. 25, 2011, at the USA Library's third floor gallery. A special reception will be held Jan. 7 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The Department of Educational Technologies and Services began along with the USA College of Medicine as a way to support medical education in all media. Over the years the department attracted a number of artists who creatively applied their skills to the often unique and challenging problems encountered in medical education and research. The work they accomplished while in the employment of the USA College of Medicine continues to have a lasting positive impact on students, faculty, and the community at large.

This exhibition showcases five of these artists -- Walter Beckham, Mike Carmichael, Lynda Smith Touart, Frank Vogtner, and Laura Worsham -- with examples of their personal work in photography, painting, drawing, and mixed media.
