Art Exhibitions in Boca Raton's library

FAU just hosted an Art Exhibition in the Wimberly Library on the Boca Raton campus. The art exhibition was done because a couple, the Chodorkoffs, donated 18 pieces of art to the university.

The 18 pieces of art included fiber art, studio glass, ceramics, paintings and sculptures. According the couple they plan to continue donating artwork to the university until they have none left. The couple really liked the idea of giving art to a university for the specific reason that students would be the one to view and learn from the art. One of my professors stated that she would be taking her classes over to see the new collection, so that they may practice writing art critique pieces. 

This new collection of art joins other pre-existing collections within the library and within the campus walls. FAU's Boca campus has several art galleries around campus. This includes the art pieces that are already housed in Wimberly Library. FAU prides itself in containing student and professional artwork. This gift from the Chodorkoffs can be viewed inside Wimberly Library during gallery hours. 

I know that I thought the art pieces were very beautiful and they make a great addition to the university.

GO OWLS!
