Long Walks on the Beach Reception

Please enjoy these pictures of the Gallery opening of “Long Walks on the Beach” featuring work by FSU Students. The gallery is located in the Carnaghi Arts Building in the Phyllis Strauss Gallery until September 2nd.

Even though summer has come to an end, there is still time to soak up a little sunshine before the leaves begin to turn. The works featured commemorate those who have freed themselves of any inhibitions and chose to work in their cool, cool studio instead of relazing in the blazing heat of summer. While some of us oiled-up sunbathers hung by the sea with a piña colada in hand, these artists were knee-deep in fluorescent lighting and swam through piles of work to be made. This was not only intensive labor, but perhaps also their own way of relaxation; they were able to channel their energy into work that would have been much harder to produce when school was in full swing.
