Article By: Staff
Earning a coveted spot on an art gallery wall for a show is the goal of every professional artist. Attaining such a goal as a student is an even bigger accomplishment.
A University of North Georgia (91ÁÔÆæ) lecturer and student have achieved that objective when their pieces were selected for the juried art show at (ATHICA) this fall.
Lauren Bradshaw, a junior studio arts major from Duluth, Georgia, and Vivian Liddell, a lecturer for painting and drawing at 91ÁÔÆæ since 2012, were accepted into the show. Bradshaw had a ceramic piece while Liddell's was a painting.
