The Reinhardt Art and Communications Departments presents a spring art show 'Faculty & Friends.’ The impressive collection reveals that RU professors aren’t just instructors, they’re engaged and active members of the art community who hope to inspire others.
“There is so much creativity happening at Reinhardt that sometimes goes unnoticed,” says Art Department Program Coordinator, Jym Davis. “It is also important for people to experience art in person. Too often art is only experienced on small-screen social media. Art is meant to be engaged in a gallery space, in its original context.”
The themes and media on display are unique to the artists and are examples of the variety of class options for students. They include photography, festival-themed masks, abstract butterfly paintings, video art and giclee prints.
The event runs March 10 to April 1 at the Falany Performing Arts Center Gallery. A public reception with a chance to meet the artists is Tuesday, March 21st from 5 to 7 pm.

Published Author from
the RU MFA Program
|
|
John M. Williams, a professor in Reinhardt University's MFA program, has published Monroeville and the Stage Production of To Kill a Mockingbird, relating to one of the most famous novels in history.
His book chronicles the extraordinary journey of the Mockingbird Players as they performed to save the old Monroe County, Alabama courthouse. Monroeville is author Harper Lee’s hometown and where her famous book and the movie was set. Volunteers, amateur performers, and director Kathy McCoy took the show from a very modest beginning to worldwide success. The town got behind the play and built Monroeville as a literary destination. The irony is that Harper Lee didn’t want the play done and never attended.
