New art gallery

Columbus State University's department of art just dedicated the Norman Shannon and Emmy Lou P. Illges Gallery in the brand-new Corn Center for the Visual Arts downtown.

The address is 6 W. 10th St., but to get to the gallery, go in the Front Avenue entrance. You can park on the street or in the RiverCenter's parking garage. If you park in the lot at the Galleria Riverside, make sure that you park in the slots that are NOT marked in green. Those are for CSU personnel and you will be ticketed.

The 2007 Faculty Exhibition opens the 2007-08 CSU season with a reception 6-8 p.m. Thursday. And if you can't make it to the reception, the gallery is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Wednesday-Friday and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday. This exhibit runs through Oct. 19.

I saw it during a preview Monday and it's fantastic.

It features the work of Elizabeth R. McFalls, Tina Reuterberg, Orion Wertz, Jeff Kaller, Genie Bates, Trish Ramsay, Mike McFalls, Charles J. Hemard III, Claudia Evans Williams, Mara Adamitz Scrupe and Hannah Israel.

Go see what the art professors are doing. You'll be enlightened.
