Faulconer Friday coming February 27

You are invited to the next Faulconer Friday, February 27, 4:15 pm, in the Grinnell College Bucksbaum Center for the Arts Room 132 (6th Avenue and Park Street). Enjoy a glass of wine or sparkling water and unwind at the end of the week. Sample from a selection of delicious cheese and fruits. Bring a friend or partner!

Space is limited, so RSVP to Tilly Woodward (269-4663 or woodward@grinnell.edu) by noon, February 24th to reserve your spot!

Dan Strong, Associate Director of the Faulconer Gallery, will give a tour of “Animated Painting,” an amazing exhibition by 12 international contemporary artists who adapt animation concepts and technologies in making their art, combining handwork, digital technology, traditional art forms such as drawing, conventional animation techniques, live-action sequences, abstraction, and collage. Animated Painting was curated by Betti-Sue Hertz, Director of Visual Arts, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco.
