General Announcements 

Saint Meinrad exhibit features wood block and Styrofoam prints

An exhibit of wood block and Styrofoam prints called “A Sense of Place” will be on display in the Saint Meinrad Archabbey Library Gallery, 200 Hill Dr., in St. Meinrad, through Feb. 20.

The gallery will exhibit works by Kentucky artist Chris Plummer. This exhibit showcases both a series of landscapes inspired by the land near Plummer’s home in Niagara, Ky., and a series of black and white prints centered around the idea of house and home.

Plummer has been enamored with print making since he made his first print in 1995. In 1999, he earned a bachelor’s of fine arts degree at Northern Kentucky University.

Since then, he has participated in local and regional art fairs, winning many awards. In 2021, he won “best-in-show” in the Around the Loop Art Fair in Memphis, Tenn. In 2019, he won “best-in-show” at the Q-Fest Art Fair in Quincy, Ill., and the Around the Fountain Art Fair in Lafayette, Ind.

The exhibit is free and open to the public. Those wishing to view the exhibit may want to arrive at least 30 minutes before closing time. Due to the COVID situation, guests to Saint Meinrad are asked to wear masks.

For library hours, call 812-357-6401 or 80-987-7311 or visit the Archabbey Library’s website at www.saintmeinrad.edu/library/library-hours.
