February 23, 2024There is less than a month left until Nicholls State University’s annual Art Works event!
Art Works will take place on Tuesday, March 19, 2024 beginning at 6:00 p.m. at Talbot Hall. Art Works is an event were Nicholls State University art students show off their talent! The night includes tours of art department studios and facilities, student and faculty demonstrations of metal pouring and printmaking, and opportunities to participate in hands-on experiences such as making a fresco, working clay on a potter’s wheel, developing a photograph in a darkroom, and creating your own silkscreen print. Art Works also includes a silent auction featuring one-of-a-kind fine artwork created by faculty, alumni, students, professional artists, and designers. Many of the featured work comes from Nicholls students.
“Unlike any other event, Art Works features something new and different every year. Now in its 10th year, this open studio night, art sale, and auction directly benefits students in the Nicholls Department of Art,” reads a statement via the Art Works website. “Enjoy a casual, fun-filled evening where attendees can participate in the creative process and make artwork to take home.”
