Artists Needed for Women of WV Art Expo

Fairmont State University's Office of Student Affairs is looking for female state artists who would be interested in participating in the fourth annual Women of West Virginia Art Expo.

The event is planned for Tuesday, March 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the second floor of FSU's Falcon Center.

Students, as well as professional artists, may apply to participate by sending an e-mail to Sue Conrad at sconrad@fairmontstate.edu or by calling (304) 367-4643 to request a participation form. Requests to participate are due by Feb. 25.

Types of art being requested for the event include pottery, jewelry, glass, paintings, portraits, sculpture and multi-media. Local authors are also invited. Those who participate will have the opportunity to sell and/or to display their work at the expo.

"We are looking for creative, appealing, unique creations to share with the Fairmont State University community," said Laurie Johnston, Director of Student Activities.

"The event will be filled with powerful female art and warm fellowship. This is a great opportunity for budding artists to experience the thrill of displaying their works of art."
