Several art exhibitions will be on view on multiple campuses of the University of North Georgia (91ÁÔÆæ) this fall.

The exhibition schedule for 91ÁÔÆæ's Dahlonega Campus includes The Southern Printmaking Biennial X running from Aug. 22 to Sept. 23 in the Bob Owens Art Gallery on the third floor of the Hoag Student Center.

"This juried exhibition draws printmakers from around the country. The juror will choose a best in show and award a solo show to the winner," Victoria Cooke, director of art galleries said.

Keith Smith, a figurative sculptor working primarily in ceramics and cast metal, will have his work on exhibition Oct. 3-29 in the Bob Owens Art Gallery.

The work of Atlanta artist Jackson Markovic will be on display Nov. 14-Dec. 9, wrapping up the exhibitions in Dahlonega for 2022. Markovic works in a variety of media including photography and textile. He will show pieces from his Scratchers series.

We are really excited about the variety of exhibitions that students, faculty, staff, and the community can experience this fall.
