silkscreen, woodcuts, flock and collage.
In addition to a collaborative multimedia installation, individual works
from each of these artists will be featured in the Silver Gallery.
Hoggatt and Mitchell bring very different skills to this exhibition, yet
the nature of this project reflects how each artist's expertise is
strengthened and complimented through collaboration. Hoggatt was last
featured in a group exhibition, Out of the Bullpen, at MAM in 2003.
Mitchell was a resident of the Archie Bray Foundation in 2005 and was
recently recognized and featured as a finalist for the Contemporary
Northwest Art Awards at the Portland Art Museum.

FVCC Honors Seminar: Archaeological Evidence for the Origins of Affluence

2008-12-03T07:00:00Z

The series will conclude December 3 with “Archaeological Evidence for the Origins of Affluence,” by Dr. Michael Galaty, associate professor of anthropology at Millsaps College. In his presentation, Galaty will explain how archaeological origins of affluence can be traced to the Neolithic “New Stone" Age and how the transition to agriculture and settled village life may have been adaptations to changes in the environment and prehistoric social life. He will investigate and discuss the first paradox of affluence—why humans left millions of years of egalitarian social relations behind.
This lecture will be shown in AT 204 from 1:00-2:30 pm and in AT 203 from 7:00-8:30 pm.
Free and open to the public.

FVCC Honors Seminar: Part 4: Archaeological Evidence for the Origins of Affluence

2008-12-03T20:00:00Z

The series will conclude December 3 with "Archaeological Evidence for the Origins of Affluence," by Dr. Michael Galaty, associate professor of anthropology at Millsaps College. In his presentation, Galaty will explain how archaeological origins of affluence can be traced to the Neolithic "New Stone" Age and how the transition to agriculture and settled village life may have been adaptations to changes in the environment and prehistoric social life. He will investigate and discuss the first paradox of affluence-why humans left millions of years of egalitarian social relations behind.
This lecture will be shown in AT 204 from 1:00-2:30 pm and in AT 203 from 7:00-8:30 pm.
Free and open to the public.
For more information, call Karen Longhart at 406-756-3998 or klonghar@fvcc.edu
