life. The award-winning participants include Richard Cecil, Alyce Miller,
and Samrat Upadhyay, three writers and professors from the IU Creative
Writing Program. Richard Cecil is the recipient of the 1991 Verna Emery
Poetry Award for his book of poems Alcatraz and has published three other
books of poetry. For her collection of short stories entitled The Nature
of Longing, Alyce Miller received the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short

talent.

The following three exhibits will be on display at the SoFA Gallery
on the evening of the Writers program:
*New Work: Barry Gealt: These new paintings by IU Professor Barry
Gealt
were created in Paradise Valley in Utah, Barfleur in France, and Owen
County, Indiana. The rhythmically abstract renderings bring the viewer in
contact with the wilderness of a natural world that is both mysterious and
meditative.
*Beings: A Preview to Human Nature is an exhibit of works by four
Midwest
artists, Elona Van Gent, Richard Krueger, Richard Grey, and Reggie Stump,
who are re-interpreting scientific discoveries and addressing their
related ethical and moral issues in unique visual ways. Sculptural works,
paintings, prints, photographs, video projections, and installation pieces
present a preview to the Human Nature series of exhibits and events that
are planned for SoFA in 2006-07, a project supported by IU's New
Frontiers.
*Graphic Design Area Show highlights works created by students in
the
Graphic Design Program.
