MILLS ART GALLERY

Gallery hours are M-F, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Central College seniors Jennifer Jones, an art major from Manchester, and Sarah Van Wyk, an art major from Pella will hold final art exhibitions. Jones’s exhibit is titled “Made Up” & addresses the concept of beauty, which is displayed through multiple representations of beauty products. Jones hopes "to convey the similarities in these products, being that there is an overwhelming amount available for sale.” Van Wyk’s exhibit, “Seeds,” is a photography exhibit featuring macro photographs of fruits & vegetables. She sought "to create interesting compositions that encourage the viewer to become immersed in the minutiae of nature but at a vastly exaggerated scale. A reception for the artists is Sunday, April 13, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. in Mills Gallery. The art shows are free & open to the public. For more information, call 628.5157.
