Coker College’s Cecelia Coker Bell Gallery presents an exhibition by Wayne Bertola titled, “Silent Elegies,” with a reception, which is free and open to the public. The exhibition begins on Monday, September 19, 2016 at 7 p.m. and light refreshments will be served. Bertola’s show will continue through October 12, 2016.

Wayne Bertola is a self-taught artist from Chicago, Illinois. He creates a unique symbolism by forming composite pieces to include found objects and vintage images. “"If the work has any meaning," says Bertola, "it is in its ability to combine found objects and images in a manner that engages the viewer in a creative dialogue."

​

 

The Cecelia Coker Bell Gallery is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday, while classes are in session, and is located in the Gladys C Fort Art Building on the campus of Coker College, Hartsville, S.C. Parking entrance, for the art building, is directly across from 306 E. Home Ave.
