UNC Asheville will host three art exhibitions in Ramsey Library beginning April 3. All shows are free and open to the public.

UNC Asheville alumni who participated at past National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) events will exhibit work April 3-8 at Blowers Gallery, located on the main floor of Ramsey Library. A variety of mediums will be represented, including ceramics, painting, printmaking and drawings. The exhibition will be held in conjunction with the 20th annual NCUR at UNC Asheville, held April 6-8. UNC Asheville, a pioneer in engaging students in research, organized the first conference in 1986.

An exhibition entitled “Renewal,” featuring some 15 photographs by UNC Asheville senior psychology major Amanda Baranski, will be on view April 3-30 at Ramsey Library’s Third Floor Gallery. The show is the culmination of Baranski’s work toward a minor in art from UNC Asheville. An opening reception will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 8, in the gallery.

UNC Asheville senior Lillian Byers will present “Growth,” a ceramic sculpture exhibit featuring some six pieces, in the Ramsey Library lobby April 3-28. Byers, a French and art major, has studied in France and at the Penland School of Crafts in Western North Carolina.
