Local and Polish artists to lecture at TCVA
Appalachian State University’s Turchin Center for the Visual
Arts gives campus and community members a chance to learn more about the new artwork in the
galleries by the artists themselves.
Local artist Mary-Ann Prack, from Jefferson, gives a
candid and in-depth look at her new work in the current exhibition, “Standing Still…in the Abstract:
Sculpture, Paintings and Drawings,” during her free Lunch & Learn lecture on Wednesday, Feb. 20
from noon to 1 p.m. in Gallery A.
The Turchin Center also welcomes Polish artist Monika
Kostrzewa as an artist in residence from Feb. 26 through March 4. She will hold a free public
lecture on Thursday, Feb. 28, at 7 p.m. in the Turchin Center Lecture Hall to discuss her work in
