Assistant Professor of Fine Arts Melissa Schulenberg is among the artists whose work will be exhibited in the Roland Gibson Gallery at SUNY Potsdam, presenting its 2005 Fourth Triennial North Country Regional Award Winners. The month-long exhibition begins Friday, January 28, with an opening reception at 7 p.m. in the Gibson Gallery Lobby in Brainerd Hall.

The featured artists are included by invitation only. The exhibition showcases top award-winners from the annual North Country Regional Art Shows. The regional show is considered one of the preeminent competitive shows in the area, limited to artists who live within a 200-mile radius of Potsdam.

The triennial shows have been organized to recognize talented regional artists and encourage continued creativity by offering the top winners a museum gallery exhibition. Additionally, the triennial show enables North Country audiences and students to view these substantial bodies of work.

Participating this year are Mark Huff, sculpture; Ginny Layne, digital design; Barry Lobdell, photography; Rebecca MacKellar, fiber quilts; Pamela McKinnon, watercolor; Schulenberg, printmaking; and Amy Swartele, painting.

The event is free and open to the public. Questions may be directed to the gallery at (315) 267-3290. The show closes on Friday, February 25.
