Students' Work on Display in
Pitt-Bradford's Spring Spectrum Series

The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford’s spring Spectrum Series will showcase student talent as well as regional musicians and an artist’s view of Iceland.

Events are open to the public and free unless otherwise noted.

The season begins with the unveiling of the 2015 edition of Baily’s Beads, the award-winning student-run literary magazine. The annual celebration will take place at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 21, 2015, in the Mukaiyama University Room in the Frame-Westerberg Commons.

The latest issue will be revealed with refreshments, prizes, readings by Baily’s Beads contributors and an open mic for anyone who wants to share original work.

February will begin with an art exhibition by Burke Jam, “From a Black Shore: FRACTURE,” that examines how sound informs our perception of place.

An opening and gallery talk by the artist will take place at noon, Feb. 6, in the KOA Art Gallery in Blaisdell Hall. The exhibition will be on display from Feb. 6 through March 6. Gallery hours are 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday.

Art lovers will have two chances to take in Jam’s exhibition and catch a Noon Tunes concert. At noon Feb. 10, singer-songwriter Ade Adu will play in the Studio Theater in Blaisdell Hall. Adu lived in West and South Africa before relocating to Western New York. His travels are reflected in the range of genres he plays, which include dance, hip-hop, reggae and rock.

On Feb. 24, the music trio Strings and Hammers will present music for piano, violin and double bass at noon in the Studio Theater.

Student artists will be next to exhibit in the KOA gallery when the annual “Affairs of the Art” exhibition opens at noon March 20.
