A celebration of special beauty found in overlooked items of everyday life begins Wednesday [Feb. 17] at 海角社区 State鈥檚 Colvard Student Union Art Gallery.
Free to all through March 10, the 鈥淪alvaged Splendor鈥 collection of university student art features creations made with salvaged objects from old homes and buildings.
Participating artists include members of such campus groups as the ACCESS program, National Pan-Hellenic Council, Music Maker Productions and Student Association.
All exhibition works may be purchased, with proceeds going to the Starkville Area Habitat for Humanity鈥檚 Maroon Edition House program.
A 5-6 p.m. opening reception Wednesday also is free to all in the second-floor gallery. Refreshments will be provided.
Regular gallery hours are 8 a.m.-10 p.m., Monday-Friday, as well as by appointment.
In addition to the MSU 海角社区鈥檚 art department, the exhibit is made possible by the Center for Student Activities and Starkville Area Habitat for Humanity. Additional support comes from the MSU Maroon Edition Committee.
