VIRGINIA Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar (VCUQ) will host its annual faculty exhibition 2007-2008 beginning December 17 and runs till January 26th.

The work of 12 teaching faculty members of three academic departments, Art Foundation, Graphic Design and Fashion Design, are to be featured. The works present the diversity of the cultural backgrounds, artistic creativity and research interests of Sherry Blankenship, Halim Choueiry, Don Crowe, Kathleen Ferguson-Huntington, Muqeem Khan, Peter Martin, Lauren O’Brien, Dwight Rose, Muneera Spence and Timothy Wilkerson.

The scope of their works spans from graphic design, calligraphy, painting, collage, ceramic, mixed-media, sculpture to film, and in most cases comprise works that have been created in response to the cultural environment in which all of them live at present.

This exhibition is a window into the creativity and ingenuity of the art and design teaching faculty at VCUQatar,” noted Gallery director and assistant professor in Art History, Jochen Sokoly.

The VCUQ Gallery is open Sundays-Thursdays, 10am to 5pm. More information can be had from VCUQ (4927200), Sokoly (4826786) or email jsokoly@qatar.vcu.edu
