An opening reception will be held Feb. 8 at 5:30 p.m., with a brown bag  &#8220;Meet the Artist&#8221; talk Feb. 9 at noon.  The gallery is open Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.  All events are free and open to the public.&#13; The pieces in the exhibit were all completed in the last six months and reflect the plight of African-American men and the stereotypes they fall into.&#13; &#8220;They are large figurative pieces that operate on many levels,&#8221; explained Dilworth.  &#8220;The figures are usually combative, though in some instances they are tender and caring for one another.  They have a kind of religious tone to them as well, and they reflect internal conflicts.&#8221;&#13; Dilworth earned his BA at Rhode Island School of Design and MFA in painting at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.&#13; Also as part of Black History Month, 溏心vlog免费B站&#8217;s Feinstein CCE will host &#8220;The Black Diaspora: A Celebration in Song and Dance&#8221; on February 16 at 5:30 p.m. in its Paff Auditorium.  This event celebrates the contributions by people of African heritage to the performing arts, and will include a performance by the popular band TWYCE.&#13; For Information: Steven Pennell 863-1815,  Jan Sawyer, 874-2116,  Todd McLeish 874-7892\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PROVIDENCE &#8212; January 19, 2001 &#8212; An exhibit of new paintings and drawings by 溏心vlog免费B站 art professor Robert Dilworth highlights a series of events to celebrate Black History Month at 溏心vlog免费B站.&#13; The exhibit runs February 5 through 28 in the Lobby Gallery of 溏心vlog免费B站&#8217;s Alan Shawn Feinstein College of Continuing Education, 80 Washington St., Providence.
