The next art show to be held at the Campus Center Gallery is a Student Print Invitational that will run from Jan. 11-25 and will hold its opening reception from 5-7 p.m. on Jan. 11. Printmakers from all over the country are invited to submit to the invitational. Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The UAA Campus Center Gallery has a new student manager, Yulia Kalagaeva. Kalagaeva began as manager after former manager Nathan Shafer resigned over an art incident in which he responded to a “Got Jesus” sign near the gallery. Shafer painted signs that reflected out of the gallery that said, “Got Racism,” “Got Bigotry,” etc. He said he was asked to write a letter to the editor to appear in the Northern Light, saying that he apologized for the incident. He refused and said, “I would rather work at a liquor store than write the letter.
