Genny Olson, who works in the NWACC library (and member of the NWACC Art Club) and Jan Gosnell, adjunct Art Faculty, both participated in Lifestyles Inc.'s fundraiser "A Chair Affair" this semester. The event was held April 28 at the Peel Mansion in Bentonville. Artists were invited to turn chairs into works of art to be auctioned off to benefit the organization.

Genny Olson: "The Driftwood chair was from stuff picked up on a beach and sandblasted, then slathered with lots of lacquer…and it weighs a ton!"

NWACC Art Club Member News:Melissa Ginter

Melissa Ginter recently had two designs chosen for specific projects. One of them was for International Education Week. She says, "The point of the design is that it looks a bit like the continents breaking down, and that's what International Education Week does. It breaks down barriers and exposes
us to different cultures that we may not otherwise become familiar with. It connects us with people and cultures around the world."


The other design chosen was for the Benton County Women's Shelter. They are in the process of changing their name. Melissa said she will be changing that part of the design. She also says, "...the design is supposed to symbolize two figures embracing. They can be seen as a mother and child, the organization and a woman, or a volunteer at the shelter and a woman or child they are trying to help. I designed it to be strong and comforting but also embody privacy and security."



Congratulate Melissa if you see her in the hallways at NWACC!
