Printmaker Randy Bolton at WSU

Randy Bolton will be here Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th and will present his lecture at 5pm in the Fine Arts Auditorium on Thursday with a reception to follow in Gallery 2. I also encourage you to join us for dinner afterwards at the South Fork - the sign up sheet is in the office.

Randy will also be available to meet with both BFA/BA, and MFA students for individual critiques during his visit, and you will find the sign up sheet for this in the office as well.

Randy's exhibit in Gallery 2, titled 'Scene Better Daze', will run January 7 - February 15.
