MOUNT OLIVE- The University of Mount Olive (UMO) will host its senior fall Art Show reception on Thursday, November 14, from 4 to 6 PM at the Teresa Pelt Grubbs Art Gallery in Laughinghouse Hall.

The graduating senior artists with works on display will be: Rionna Bissette, an art major from Goldsboro, Taylor Isaac, an art and photography double major from Elizabeth City; and Christen Filion a graphic design major from Goldsboro.

“It’s wonderful to see the unique blend of styles and personal aesthetics that our Art Show offers,” said Robert E.
