A reception for the artist starts at noon Nov. 16 and includes an informational talk about eating disorders given by Phyllis Morris, academic director of the WSU Tri-Cities College of Nursing. The talk is open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
The exhibit continues through Nov. 30 in the WSU Tri-Cities Consolidated Information Center, 2770 University Drive. Admission is free.
