German visit inspires show
LOGAN -- Seventeen Utah State University students just returned from Germany are excited to display the artwork they sketched while visiting the country.
This exhibit is in Gallery 102 in the Chase Fine Arts Center on the Utah State University campus, 610 N. 1110 East.
The artwork is open to the public, free of charge, and can be viewed noon to 4 p.m. today through Thursday.
There will be a closing reception from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, also in Gallery 102. The student artists will attend this reception.
Christopher Terry, who has led a German study-abroad program for several years, said in a news release, "Working in a familiar studio without any distractions may produce polished art, but the experience of living and working in a foreign country adds depth to a student's work."
