OPENING EXHIBITS

Digital art

"Digital Messages: Vision, Revision, and Precision," a show by Communications Design and Computer Art students and faculty, opens Feb. 29 with a reception from 5-7 p.m. in the Art Department Gallery, Center for the Arts, North Campus. The show, which is up through March 14, presents "images and words of wit, canniness and folly in various digital media."

Sesqui exhibit has real McCoy

"UB Remembers," a university sesquicentennial exhibit organized by University Archives, opens to the public March 8 in 420 Capen Hall on the North Campus, and continues there through Sept. 10. A bright item in the exhibit, organized by chief archivist Shonnie Finnegan, is the state charter incorporating the University of Buffalo on April 22, 1846. A centennial exhibit here had to settle for a photographic copy of the document. This time we can see the real McCoy (which up to now has not been allowed to leave Albany). Groups wishing to visit the exhibit may arrange to do so by calling 645-2916. Exhibit hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
