The 2012 Art Invitational was held at the Phebe Conley Art Gallery on Tuesday, Jan. 24. Kirkman Amyx, Richard Bruland, Roger Lee and Hadieh Shafie were the artists on display, each bringing a different medium to the event. The overarching theme to each of their pieces was the time-consuming and obsessive manner in which they were made. The event is open to the public from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. through Feb. 5.
