Furniture will be shown and sold in the lobby of the Mary and Al Danos Theater. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For those with an interest in arts, crafts and photography, Nicholls art students and faculty will be on hand to show you tips and tricks to elevate your art. Demonstrations will be held on metal pouring, printmaking and blacksmithing, while hands-on opportunities to use a potter\u2019s wheel, create hand-colored photographs and create silk prints will also be available. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tickets are $50 per person and all proceeds are put back into the art department to benefit students. Last year\u2019s event raised $27,000 and proceeds have funded nearly $45,000 in scholarships awarded over the past four years and even more for grants which have helped more than 20 students to hold exhibits and attend regional and national conferences. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cMy Art Works scholarship was a blessing to my education as well as my artistic growth,\u201d said Nicholls alum, Mark Orgeron. \u201cI was able to experience things that I had only read about and seen in books and on screen, such Michelangelo\u2019s Sistine Chapel and the Roman Colosseum. As I continue as an art teacher, this study abroad experience will continue to be a well of inspiration overflowing into my life and my classroom.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">New this year is the ability to bid for items online. Supporters unable to attend the event can still bid on many of the items available for auction by signing up at www.nicholls.edu\/artworks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more information or to purchase tickets, call 448-457 or visit www.nicholls.edu\/artworks. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Feb 15, 2018<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>CONTACT: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jacob Batte, Media Relations and Publications Coordinator,\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">985.448.4141<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">jacob.batte@www.nicholls.edu<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIBODAUX, La. &#8212; The Nicholls State University art department will host the popular and interactive fundraiser, Art Works, at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, March 20 in Talbot Hall.
