Spirit and Place Festival Reception and Panel Discussion 7 p.m. Nov 11th, 2011
The STUTZARTSPACE Gallery is seeking entries for its November exhibit, Unclothed: Exposing the Art Nude, a Spirit and Place Festival Event.
What place does the art nude have in the public venue? The STUTZARTSPACE gallery examines this question with "Unclothed: Exposing the Art Nude", a 2011 Spirit and Place Festival exhibit and panel discussion. "Unclothed" explores this years Spirit and Place Festival theme, the Body. The nude human figure in fine art has been both celebrated and censored, with display and creation influenced by academia and religion, and virtue debated by everyone.
The exhibit, featuring regional artists displaying works of the human form, is on display from November 4th through November 25th. The gallery will host a public panel discussion on the place of the fine art nude on Friday, November 11th.
