Local Sculptor Dan Millspaugh Featured in Mexican Exhibition


A large steel sculpture by Dan Millspaugh, noted sculptor and UNC-A associate professor of art, has been chosen for a transnational exhibition in Mexico. The piece, entitled �Intermittent Loop,� is part of an exhibition that features 43 sculptures from both Mexican and American artists, and is intended to represent the equality between the two nations. The exhibition will be on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art and Literary Society of Yucatan in Merida, Mexico, and will run through January 2006.

A Florida native, Millspaugh holds a bachelor of fine arts in ceramics and a master of fine arts in sculpture from the University of Miami. He joined the UNC-A art department in 1981. In 1996, he received the UNC Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching, and most recently was named the first recipient of UNC-A�s Award for Excellence in Scholarship or Creative Expression.

Millspaugh has completed sculpture commissions for the City of Asheville, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, the UNC Botanical Garden in Chapel Hill, and the Tennessee Valley Authority in Alabama. His works are on display in numerous corporate, public, and private collections throughout the United States.
