The Centenary Performing Arts Guild in union with local professional artists will be hosting an art exhibit/sale entitled Art for Art's Sake on the campus of Centenary College. The gallery will be open Oct. 8th - through Oct. 26th in conjunction with the Centenary Stage Company's season première of Tartuffe!.

The gallery will consist of art with media range from oil, to photography, pastels to acrylics as well as clay sculpture and silk screening. Aesthetically diverse as well, each artist has a unique approach to representation. The work may interpret people and things in their environment or take on a more personal view embracing the abstract.

All the art will be for sale, with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit the theatre.
