New multimedia exhibit

The exhibit "The sunshine of our last day" will be on display February 21 through March 27 in the UIS Visual Arts Gallery. The project is by Michael Jones McKean, assistant professor of Sculpture and Extended Media at Virginia Commonwealth University.

The new multimedia project will gather objects and phenomena into a unifying visual constellation that will make an appeal to our imaginations.

An artist’s talk will be presented at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 21 in the gallery, followed by an opening reception, including food and refreshments, from 6 to 8 p.m. The artist’s talk, reception and exhibit are free and open to the public.

The Visual Arts Gallery is located in room 201 of the Health and Sciences Building on the UIS campus. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday. For further information, go to www.uis.edu/visualarts/.
