January 31, 2025 (Jackson, Miss.) - Belhaven University will showcase the works of graduating B.F.A. and B.A. candidates Shannon Aardsma, Macon Bentley, Colby Prichard, and Dan Warren. The exhibit is entitled “Agere,” and marks a pivotal moment for students who have developed their artistic skills in Belhaven’s Art and Design Department.  

This exhibit, February 8-22, not only represents their artistic achievements, but also serves as a critical step toward professional practice. It provides invaluable experience in curating and installing their work, showcasing their refined artistic voices.  

The opening reception for “Agere” is February 8, 2-4 p.m., and the gallery talk will be February 17, 4 p.m. at the Bitsy Irby Visual Arts and Dance Center Art Gallery.  

This is just one of the many exciting events from Belhaven’s School of Arts. Check out Arts Ablaze for plays, dance and music concerts, poetry readings, gallery exhibits and more happening this year.
