Gallery at Tarble Arts shows diverse past

The Tarble Arts Center will host “Flash from the Past,” a celebration in honor of its 20-year anniversary. This celebration includes displays of Tarble’s permanent art collection, as well as a diverse array of many other works of art.

Kit Morice, Curator of Education for the Tarble Arts Center, said that all works shown were picked by senior staff at Eastern.

“It shows the construction of the Tarble Arts Center through the twenty years it’s been open,” he said.

Many art exhibits will be shown, including wood carvings, color field paintings and work from the Southwest Pueblo Native Americans. Also being shown is work from Alice Vaber, a Charleston native who became recognized across the country.

“Alice went on to work in New York with other abstract expressionists,” Morice said.

These works of art will be shown in the Brainard Gallery, which is adjacent to the main gallery.

These exhibits are open to the public, and there is no admission fee.

The event runs now through Sept. 29, with hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday and will be closed on Monday.
