With spring break quickly approaching, college students are thinking more about beaches, tan lines and more fun in the sun than what’s happening on Salve’s campus. With a little over a week left until the bathing suits come out, there is still much to be seen and done on campus. Don’t know what’s going on? Don’t worry! Here are the top five events that are worthy of what little time you have:
1. “The Wetmore Series” features works by Jay Lacouture, professor and chair of the Art Department at Salve, and Harris Deller, a long-time friend of Lacouture. The opening reception is on Wednesday, Feb. 22. The exhibit runs through March 5. The University Gallery is open Mon.-Thurs., 11 a.m.-4 p.m.; Fri., 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and Sun., 2-4 p.m. For more information, call 341-2981.
2. The “Bloodlines Art” exhibit is another must-see. It’s on display at McKillop Library in honor of Black History Month. The exhibit features the art of several generations of an African-American family as they overcome poverty and abuse. The exhibit will be on display through Feb. 28.
3. The Stagefright Theatre Company presents its comedy production, “Mostly All in the Timing.” The performance is on Saturday, Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. in the Studio Theatre in Megley Hall. To reserve tickets, call Salve’s Theatre Company box office at 341-2250.
