19, 2001 'Time Capsule from the 1960s’ located in Printmakers Gallery "Time Capsule from the 1960s" is the exhibition now showing in the Arkansas State University Printmakers Gallery in the Fine Arts Center, located on Caraway Road. The exhibition consists of 23 original prints created during the period 1964 through 1969. Fantasy, religion, patriotism, landscape, portraiture and figures are among the variety of subject matter represented in the exhibition. Things were different in the 1960s. The artists were exploring new processes and styles, observing new cultural activities, and expressing curiosity about a rapidly changing world that few could understand at the time. Most were students in early stages of their artistic careers, exploring printmaking media for the very first time. All prints in the exhibition were selected from works done by former ASU art students. They brought individual experiences, interpretations, emotions and styles to their images as they experimented with etching and burin engraving printing processes. The artists includ Harry Allen, Joseph Arnold, Bill Belew, Linda Brown, Hubert Crain, Marcia Goodson, Pat Haynes, Danny Helms, Peter Kluge, Betty Lipsmeyer, Earl Lock, Jimmy Norsworthy, Ron Ohnemus, Dennis Riddle, Dianne Spieler, Ann Reid Stewart, Danny Wilfong, Gene Whitlow and Terry Wicker. The exhibition will be on display through July 20. All prints shown in this exhibition are from the Arkansas Print Club Archive, a collection of prints done by students majoring in art at ASU since 1963. Located adjacent to the printmaking studios in the north corridor of the Fine Arts Center, the Printmakers Gallery is dedicated to exhibitions of contemporary original prints. The gallery is open to the public 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays, and noon to 5 p.m. most weekends. # # #
