Bailey Coll to discuss artwork

Bailey Coll, art instructor and chair of the Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell Art Committee, will present a Rotary program Thursday on artwork she is curating for the campus.
Reaching for the Stars

Some of the art she will discuss is a large mural renowned artist Peter Hurd donated to Walker Air Base in 1964. The painting has been restored and is in the ENMU-R Instructional Technology Center.

In addition, she will discuss paintings by Dorothy Peterson and a 44-piece collection by Peter Rogers.

Coll will provide an update on relocating the 35-foot-tall Reaching for the Stars sculpture by Doug Czor from New Mexico Military Institute to the ENMU-R campus.

Coll also will give details on an upcoming campus art gala, which will be held April 28, and an art camp for youth planned for this summer.
