From balloon bouquets to skateboard guitars and ceramics to cross stitch, the creativity of 29 Whitman staff members will be on display March 25-30 in "Art Outside the Box," a staff-only art show organized by the college's Personnel Advisory Committee (PAC).

The show features 45 works of art by staff members who by day serve the students, faculty and mission of the college and in their off-hours invoke their creativity as artists. The works will be exhibited on the main floor of Penrose Library

"Part of PAC's mission is to enhance the quality of work life at Whitman for staff," said Dennis Hopwood, director of human resources. "What better way than to bring a smile to those who pass through Penrose and encounter the unexpected? This reminds us of the creativity and individuality we all possess, if we would but express it."
