YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. — Young Harris College invites the community to attend fine arts events in October. All events will take place on the YHC campus, which is located at 1 College St., Young Harris, Georgia 30582. Enjoy the following events:
– On Thursday, Oct. 3 at 6 p.m., the Campus Gate Art Gallery will host an opening reception for a new exhibit called “The Edge of Magic” by Cynthia Wagner and Darcy Jones. The exhibit will be on display through Friday, Nov. 8. Both the reception and the exhibit are free and open to the public.
Wagner’s images explore issues of gender role, inequality and the disappearance of individuals over time and space, as well as how women and Western culture look at and understand themselves and female role models through fiction, myth and the divine. Jones—a clay artist and a psychotherapist—says her work is an expression of connection. It is born in the place between worlds: between known and unknown, seen and unseen, heart and mind, body and spirit.
– On Sunday, Oct. 6 at 3 p.m., the YHC Concert Band will perform with the YHC Community Band in Glenn-McGinnis Hall. This event is free and open to the public.
