UHCL Art Gallery hosts ceramic exhibition
Student artists will showcase their sculptural ceramic art Feb. 21 through April 4, all day, in UH-Clear Lake’s Bayou Building Art Gallery, 2700 Bay Area Blvd., Houston, 77058. Featured artwork was created during Professor of Fine Arts Nick de Vries’ fall sculptural ceramic course that introduced geoscience into the classroom. The exhibition is titled “Houston – A Geological Dynamic Wedge” and explores Houston’s Gulf Coast “clastic wedge” formed by thickly-deposited sediments. Offered in conjunction with this exhibition is a closing lecture by University of Houston Professor of Biostratigraphy and Petroleum Geoscience Program Director Don Van Nieuwenhuise, director of the Petroleum Geoscience Program at University of Houston, scheduled for March 21, 5 – 7 p.m., Bayou Building, Garden Room. This free exhibition and the artists-in-residence are funded through the Art Exhibitions, Office of University Advancement, Cultural Arts and the Office of the Dean of the School of Human Sciences and Humanities.
