\"AustinClarksville, TN<\/strong> – The Austin Peay State University (APSU) Department of Art + Design at Austin Peay State University is excited to announce its 2019-20 season of exhibitions and visiting speakers.<\/p>\n

Generously supported by the Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts (CECA), the Department of Art + Design can bring nationally and internationally recognized artists and thinkers to Clarksville with programming that is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

Recently retired Austin Peay State University professor Susan Bryant will exhibit “humanature” August 26th-September 20th at Heydel Hall. (APSU)<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The recently built APSU Art + Design building houses both The New Gallery and Heydel Hall. The New Gallery will host four exhibitions showcasing contemporary art from regional and national artists, as well as the annual juried student exhibition.<\/p>\n

Heydel Hall is an acoustically tuned lecture hall that will host the CECA Visiting Artist Speaker Series featuring select national and international artists and thinkers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI say this every year, but we are super-excited about this year\u2019s slate of exhibitions and speakers,\u201d said Michael Dickins, gallery director and Visiting Artist program chair. \u201cWe\u2019re beginning our third year in the new Art + Design building, and there is no sign of the department slowing down.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are continuing to bring world-class artists directly to Austin Peay and the residents of Clarksville,\u201d Dickens added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith invaluable support from CECA, this excitement will continue as The New Gallery will host an exciting exhibition lineup of contemporary artists that will challenge, awe and inspire our students to push themselves in their individual practices; and our Visiting Artist Speaker Series that will allow our students and community to directly interact with the influential artists of our time,” Dickins stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur programming continues to be the envy of our peer institutions within our state and those within our surrounding region,\u201d Dickins continued. \u201cLast year, we had institutions from within our state, as well as from South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas and Kentucky, bring their students to our events. This is a huge testament to our programming and the support from CECA.\u201d<\/p>\n
