YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. — Young Harris College invites the community to attend upcoming Fine Arts events in November and December. Most events will take place on the YHC campus, which is located at One College Street in Young Harris.
Join us and enjoy any of the following events:
Flowery Language by Valerie Zimany in the Campus Gate Gallery from Nov. 2-Dec. 1. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, Nov. 2 at 6 p.m. This event is a free event and is open to the public. The regular hours for the Campus Gate Gallery are 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday to Friday.
Valerie Zimany is Chair of the Department of Art and Professor of Art, Ceramics, at Clemson University, SC. She received her MFA in Crafts/Ceramics at Kanazawa College of Art as a Fulbright Fellow and Japanese Government Scholar. She is an elected member of the International Academy of Ceramics and exhibits both nationally and internationally. Her recent work explores intersections between her American background and the culture she came to know during her extended education in Japan.
Zimany’s work explores curiosity about hanazume or “packed florals” – a pattern that incorporates Asian and European botanical patterns into the traditional wares of the region of Japan. Zimany uses digital manufacturing tools to create improbable decorative patterns and forms. The artist also works with 3D printed objects – layering colors, forms, and imagery.
Trial by Jury by Gilbert and Sullivan in Dobbs Theatre in the Goolsby Center.
Trial by Jury is a masterful piece of satire poking fun at the conventions and hypocrisy of the respectable institutions and authority figures of the late 19th century. This one-act opera is very accessible to audiences, even those unfamiliar with opera, and promises to be an evening of great music and comedy.
