Visiting art professors Amanda Smith and Tonja Torgerson showcase their paintings and prints at USI

The University of Southern Indiana Art and Design department presents the exhibition Converters: Work by Amanda Smith and Tonja Torgerson, on display Monday, June 10 through Friday, September 6 at the McCutchan Art Center/Pace Galleries on the USI campus. The exhibition features the creative work of two excellent, mid-career artists. Amanda Smith is a painter and assistant professor of art at Missouri State University in Springfield, Missouri. Tonja Torgerson is a printmaker and visiting assistant professor at Indiana University. Smith and Torgerson's subject matter and artmaking processes are very different from one another, but the visual contrast between well-crafted and conceptually focused bodies of work produces a persuasive show.

The public is invited to the free reception for the exhibit from 2 to 4 p.m. Friday, September 6, at the McCutchan Art Center/Pace Galleries. Light refreshments will be served. The McCutchan Art Center/Pace Galleries are located in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center on the USI campus. 

The exhibit is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is free and the gallery is open to the public. Call 812-228-5006 or visit USI.edu/liberal-arts/art-center-galleries for more information.
