KINGSVILLE (March 13, 2012) ? The goal of the Presidential Performing and Visual Arts Series at Texas A&M University-Kingsville is to bring different kinds of artists to campus to provide the university and local community an opportunity to experience a diverse array of cultural performers. To this end, two vastly different artists will be coming to campus this month.

Artist and educator Joyce Jablonski will bring her ceramics exhibit to the Ben Bailey Art Gallery beginning Wednesday, March 21, and continuing through Friday, April 20.? Transcendental Dialectic seeks to continue investigating the sculptural installation forms as well as graphic images with china paints and decals on two-dimensional tiles.

She will have an artist?s talk at 6 p.m. March 21, in the Little Theatre followed by a reception from 7 to 9 p.m. in the art gallery.

?My work has always been nurtured by the idea of ?the nature of the being? which seeks to question the traditional definition of the sacred and the secular,? Jablonski said. ?I consider myself a modern-day shaman, who also questions, challenges and hopes to bring new meaning to the ordinary. New metaphors emerge in a modern medium to seek the universal truth. I also seek an inner awareness of myself through the intuitive drive, creating works of art and teaching the value of things beyond appearance.?

The New York Woodwind Quintet will perform at 8 p.m. Thursday, March 22, in the Frank C. Smith Recital Hall in the Bellamah Music Building. The quintet is one of the oldest continuously active chamber ensembles in the country. Now in its seventh decade, the New York Woodwind Quintet continues to maintain an active concert presence around the world while also teaching and mentoring the next generation of woodwind performers.

The quintet has been an Ensemble-in-Residence of The?Juilliard School?since 1989, where most teach individually as well as coach and administer the woodwind chamber music seminar and program. They now offer mini-residencies based upon their teaching, seminars and wind chamber music coaching at The Juilliard School.
