Fifty-five artists will display their artwork in “A Fine Line: Contemporary Drawing” at the main gallery of Morehead State University's Claypool-Young Art Building through Nov. 29.
Anne Harris was a student at the Breckenridge Training School, which was on the campus of MSU. Her father, a doctor, and mother, an architect, practiced in the Morehead area. While at MSU, she also will visit with students in drawing and art foundation courses.
