We/I have been trying to come up with some art and West Virginia
photography for the walls in the Learning Resource Center ( Robert C. Byrd building) and facilities on the
campus of The University Of Charleston/Beckley and the Martinsburg campus as
well. The Beckley campus tends to be more modern in design, which lends itself toward a
more contemporary type of art. There are far too many bare walls right now and I know that no one wants
to see only my works here on campus or elsewhere! So, I am asking for help with
this endeavor either in the form of donations of art and /or the use of art
from artist that would like to display their work for a determined period of
time (decided by the artist and the University). This will help both UC/Beckley and Martinsburg dress up the buildings
with some amazing art and hopefully help our artist get exposure and sell some of their work. A benefit both for our University and the art community. In turn it is a real
treat for our visitors and those in our Beckley and Martinsburg communities when
we exhibit the beautiful "eye candy"! Initially we would like
to have artist (all different media and mediums welcome for consideration) from West Virginia and those with ties to West Virginia contact
us first. Anyone interested please email me at GayleForsterDesigns@gmail.com or
contact The University of Charleston/ Beckley 609 South Kanawha, Beckley, WV 25802 or via
phone:(304) 929-1414 or email: ContactUC@ucwv.edu
regarding any questions. If this idea sounds interesting to you, we look forward to hearing from you! We hope to make this campus a place for extraordinary, exciting, fun and exceptional things to happen! The rebuilding is in progress http://www.register-herald.com/highprofile/x2056617416/Dr-Jerry-Forster The University's website is: http://www.ucwv.edu/Beckley/.
Thanks so much,
Gayle Forster
