Greensboro College Senior Art Exhibit on Human Trafficking Opens April 19
GREENSBORO, N.C. – “Not for Sale,” an art exhibit by senior art major Alicia Helms that focuses on human trafficking, will open with a reception from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, April 19, in Greensboro College’s Anne Rudd Galyon Gallery in the Cowan Humanities Building on campus.
A panel discussion on human trafficking will begin at 5 p.m. on the 19th in Cowan Lecture Hall, upstairs from the gallery, featuring Nicolas Eilbaum, assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice, and representatives from the Greensboro Police Department and the anti-trafficking nonprofit Abolition N.C.
The reception, discussion, and exhibit are free and open to the public. Regular exhibit hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays through May 11.
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.
