[rev_slider Printmaking1]An art display in downtown St. Joseph will feature prints from more than 20 past and present students at Missouri Western State University. “Left Behind: MWSU Printmaking Past and Present” will be exhibited from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 6 at the Olive Gallery, 513 Francis Street, as part of the First Saturday event downtown.
The art on display dates back to 1970, according to Kathy Liao, assistant professor of art and curator of the exhibit.
“There is some really beautiful and precious artwork done by art students back in the 1970s, some of whom are still around in the community,” Liao said. “The works reflected the community and state of minds back then, and are presented along with works of current art students.”
