This weekend will be filled with art and music. Two visual arts events will be taking place on A&T campus right after each other. Visual Voice 2010 Annual Student Art Exhibition is taking place this Friday, March 19, 2010 at 5:30 p.m. in the Henry Clinton Taylor Gallery in the Dudley Building. It is an open reception showcasing art of A&T students.

“Many displays of current A&T students’ paintings, drawing, prints, graphic designs, and sculptures,” said Gallery Director Shawnya Harris. President, Rashita Connelly and The Art Circle, a visual arts organization, organized the exhibition.

Special guests, Aggie alumnae Professor Kai Mouni will be jury of the exhibition. As soon as Visual Voice comes to a close, you can walk over to the student memorial union for another art event.

Eclectic is a free event art showcase presented by Miss North Carolina A&T, Ngozi Opara and the Cultured Class, showcasing art and music styles of A&T alumni. It’s taking place in Exhibit Hall at 7:30p.m., “where art, music, and class collide,” stated junior theatre major, Aaron Anazia.

“(It’s) A lounge for A&T students to come and view art and photography displayed,” Anazia states.

Performing will be by Populart Yin from Philadelphia, with live body art and live music from A&T alumni Raheem McRae and Beautiful Experience. The event requires classy dress attire and you will need an A&T ID card to enter the event. Complementary hors d’oevres will be served.

Eclectic is the experience Greensboro is missing. You do not want to miss this.
