WSU Tri-Cities Fulbright Scholar to display art work April 15-22

Art and related work created by a Washington State University Tri-Cities assistant professor while on a Fulbright Scholar residency in Scotland in 2015 will be on display at the university’s gallery April 15-22.

Peter Christenson collaborated with community members and others while in residence at the University of Dundee, a release said. The exhibit comprises his archive of documented regional Scottish traditions, stories and socio-political and geographic landscapes.

Christenson is one of about 800 university faculty members and professionals in the U.S. to receive a Fulbright award in 2015. The program allows the scholars to conduct research or lecture abroad for up to a year.

The exhibit is in Room 102 of the Consolidated Information Center on the Richland campus. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by appointment during the weeklong run of the show.

Christenson will provide tours or discussion of his work upon request. He can be reached at peter.christenson@wsu.edu.
