NACOGDOCHES, Texas – Stephen F. Austin State University’s annual School of Art Faculty Exhibition will show Aug. 29 through Sept. 29 in The Cole Art Center @ The Old Opera House in downtown Nacogdoches. An opening reception is planned for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 31.
 
Each year, the faculty exhibition features a wide variety of artworks in ceramics, sculpture, photography, painting, prints, metals and mixed media, according to Christopher Talbot, director of the SFA School of Art. This year, the School of Art is featuring five of its longest-serving adjunct faculty members, including Julie King, Stina Herrera, Ron King, Russ Havard and Scott Runnels.
 
“We are lucky to have such talented artist-educators that regularly contribute to our instructional offerings in the School of Art,” Talbot said. “They each bring a unique perspective to art and teaching, making us a better School of Art.”
