I I Art exhibitions are major events The Art Department is a many faceted agency concerned mainly with developing and cultivating an acute interest in art among the people of this area. Currently over 350 students are actively involved in this program of study. A series of exhibitions by students, faculty, and visiting artists are planned each academic year for Hammond Hall Gallery. The student jurored show is o major event of the spring semester. Each show opens with a reception where teachers, students, colleagues, members of Friends of the Arts, and area people of like mind may enjoy these aesthetic experiences together. The Art Department sponsors the Art Guild, a social organization which gives students an opportunity to join in sharing programs of mutual interest and in assisting the department with the hanging of shows and supporting the local art fairs and sponsoring programs for the membership which encourage growth and expansion in the discipline. The student chapter of the National Art Education Association nurtures the development of art students preparing to go into the teaching field. Degrees in art include the BA, BA in art with art concentration and BS degrees in education. 29
