KOKOMO, Ind.—Images of hands and faces that intrigue painter Mary Koleski will be on display August 1–31 in the Artists Spotlight window, located at the entrance to the IU Kokomo Art Gallery. The works include 11 oil paintings and pastels. Now living in Indianapolis, Koleski has taught mathematics and computer technology at the university level in several cities. She was the first faculty member hired for Purdue University’s Statewide Technology Program. When she retired, she was an associate professor of computer technology (CT) and coordinator of the CT program for the Purdue University School of Technology at Kokomo. Regional Exhibit opens August 17 Currently closed for the summer, the IU Kokomo Gallery will reopen August 17, with its Third Biennial Juried Regional Exhibition. By late July, Art Gallery Director Minda Douglas reported more than 300 entries for the 2003 Regional. “This far exceeds the 132 entries we received for the 2001 exhibition.,” Douglas said. “It should prove to be a fabulous display of works from our local artists.” Entrants include artists from Camden, Indianapolis, Arcadia, Anderson, Noblesville, Tipton, Kokomo, Carmel, West Lafayette, Cicero, Plainfield, Marion, Peru and Beech Grove, according to Douglas. Juror Charles Gick will select works for the exhibition on August 4. The show will run through September 18. The IU Kokomo Art Gallery is located inside the Kelley Student Center. All exhibits and activities are free and open to the public. Hours are Monday–Thursday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m.; Wednesdays, until 8 p.m.; and Saturdays and Sundays, noon to 4 p.m. For more information, call (765) 455-9523 or visit www.iuk.edu/art gallery.
