Gardner-Webb University's department of fine arts will hold an open house at their new facility on Nov. 30.
The open house will begin at 6 p.m. and will showcase the new art studios and classrooms in the art annex behind the Millennium Playhouse.
"It's really just open house, open doors - nothing fancy," said Doug Knotts, chair of the department of fine arts. "We're excited about showing our studios because a lot of people on campus still don't know about our major."
Following the open house, the fine arts department will hold a reception for student-artists in O. Max Gardner Hall, where the student art show is on display.
Art Instructor Paula Wilson said her students are proud of the work they've done this semester.
"I think everybody likes art deep down inside," Wilson said.
The department will also hold a student art sale on Dec. 3 and 4. The art sale is sponsored by the art club.
"Funds from that go to support the students and the art club," Knotts said. "Part of the proceeds will be used to buy display equipment for a university gallery."
The sale will feature handmade Christmas cards and ceramic toys, according to Knotts.
The sale runs in O. Max Gardner Hall from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Dec. 3 and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec 4.
