Greensboro College Presents Art Chair Jim Langer’s Exhibition, “Shocked Back to Life,” Opening March 14th

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Greensboro College proudly presents the art exhibition “Shocked Back to Life,” by Jim Langer, chair of the Department of Art, Wednesday, March 14, through April 14.

Langer’s exhibition will feature nudes, portraits, and intense figurative work of satire. It will showcase multiple techniques and a deep understanding of breathing in life again through the arts. It also will offer the public a chance to discuss with Langer how his thought process led to this concept.

The show’s regular hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays. Admission is free, and the public is invited.

Greensboro College’s Department of Art offers the B.A. or B.S. in Art and the B.A. in Art Education.

The program, with individual attention to students, combines classic art principles with the liberal-arts foundations of diverse branches of inquiry, including both science and the humanities, so that students can incorporate as much of the world as possible into their own art-making.

“I loved the GC Honors program and Greensboro College. I felt safe and a sense of genuine belonging at the college. I worked closely with my thesis advisor and professors who helped inspire me to define my path and passion of interest. That path has led me to my doctoral studies in Engineering Mechanics.”
