Guest juror Nancy Princenthal, an editor for Art on Paper, has selected 18 artists from throughout the state to participate in the exhibition. Princenthal will present a lecture at the opening public reception on Nov. 19, at 2pm, at the Weatherspoon Gallery auditorium.

Overall, gallery visitors will have a rare opportunity to view the work of more than 75 artists. The range of work in the exhibition includes both work on paper - drawing, painting, unique photography - and of paper - collage, sculpture.

The Art on Paper 2000 exhibition has grown from a partnership made in 1965 between Herbert Falk, Sr., then president of the Weatherspoon Gallery Association, and Stark Dillard of Dillard Paper Company (now xpedx). In addition to sponsoring the annual exhibition, a fund was created to enable the Weatherspoon to purchase select works from each exhibition.

The Weatherpoon's Dillard Collection, now comprises over five hundred works by artists including Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse, Yayoi Kusama, Brice Marden, Lari Pittman, Matthew Ritchie and Nicola Tyson.
