CHAMBERSBURG –  Drawings, paintings, graphic designs and other artwork created by Wilson College undergraduate students will be on display at the Coyle Free Library through Nov. 26. This free exhibition features works by student artists in Wilson’s Drawing I, Intro to Design, Digital Photography and Graphic Design courses.

“This is an opportunity for Wilson art and design students to share their scholarship, creativity and artistic voices with the community. It is an incredibly empowering tool for our students to see their work in a public space outside the studio,” said Philip Lindsey, professor of fine arts at Wilson.

Louisa Cowles, a reference librarian with the Franklin County Library System, helped integrate the exhibition into the library space. As a Wilson alumna with a degree in fine arts, Cowles expressed her plan to purchase one piece from this year’s display.

“It is so exciting to have the work of Wilson’s artists here at Coyle Library,” she said. “I thank Philip Lindsey for bringing the art works, and I thank the students for sharing with the community.”

The Coyle Free Library is at 102 N. Main St. For additional information, people may contact Cowles at 717-263-1054 (ext. 1003) or lcowles@fclspa.org, and Lindsey at 717-264-2783 or philip.lindsey@wilson.edu.
