The artist reception is held immediately after her talk on April 10.

These events are made possible by a generous gift from June Porter Johnson.
Salem College continues to bring world-class artists and performers to Winston-Salem through this exciting series. For its inaugural year, in 2012, the June Porter Johnson Series for the Visual and Performing Arts showcased the work of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company in the fall and performance artist Laurie Anderson in the spring. This spring, we will welcome one of todays most acclaimed Native American artists, Jaune Quick-To-See Smith. The internationally renowned painter and printmaker was born on the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Reservation in Montana where she is an enrolled Salish member. Her art addresses tribal politics, human rights and environmental issues with humor. Smith became a working artist while in her 30s and was earning a living as a painter before completing her master of fine arts degree at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. By the mid 1970s, she had founded artists groups, curated exhibitions and organized grassroots protests to express concern for the land and its Native people. Smiths work is held in collections of the Metropolitan Museum, N.Y.; the Whitney Museum, N.Y.; MOMA, N.Y.; the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. She has received four honorary doctorate degrees, received the Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters Grant, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Womens Caucus for the Arts, the College Art Associations Committee on Women in the Arts Award; New Mexico Governors Award in the Arts; New Mexico Womens Hall of Fame, among other honors.

Drawings by Ben Perini: Random Thoughts and the Fictional Portrait

Exhibition dates: February 17 -March 21 Reception: Friday, February 21, 6:00 8:00 p.m. Mary Davis Holt Gallery, Elberson Fine Arts Center This solo exhibit of fictional portraits consists of large-scale charcoal drawings on paper. The drawings celebrate the simplicity of black charcoal and the beauty of charcoal markings as they are layered, blended, rubbed, brushed, erased and further manipulated by the imagination to portray expressions and thoughts. Scale is an important factor in Perinis work, with some drawings in this show measuring up to seven feet tall. The intent is for the viewer to be absorbed and engulfed by the whole work of art, as he or she decides if the layers of imagery are part of a story or just abstract musings.

An artist all of his life, Perini was born in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up among the great museums of the city, which he visited often from an early age. His first educational art experience was at age eight, attending the Saturday art classes at the Brooklyn Museum. Inspired onward, he never looked back. He is currently a professional illustrator.
