International Art Exhibition at Hunter Library

Come check out the work of WCU photography students from their international travels! The International Exhibition features photos taken by art students Mike Campbell, Liz Goettee, and Hilary Lindler, capturing perspectives from their travels in Australia, England, Italy, Ireland and Scotland, in both rural and urban settings. Please visit the exhibit beside the Library’s electronic classroom on the main floor.

The exhibit will be up until December 15, 2006. The photos are available for $300.00 each — both matte and frame — and the students’ email addresses are available at the exhibit. Feel free to sign the guestbook and offer comments on the students’ work.
