Lynchburg College's Daura Gallery will present "Indelible (P)ink: The Pink Panther and Popular Culture" January 14 through Feb. 29, 2008.
This "blast from the past" will feature forty-four original animation cells with accompanying drawings of the character created by Friz Freleng for the opening title sequence of Blake Edwards' 1963 film by the same name (MGM/United Artists), starring Peter Sellers as the bumbling Inspector Clouseau.
In conjunction with the exhibition, the Gallery will host "Twist the Night Away!" on Friday, February 1, from 8 to 11 p.m. when guests can dance to the tunes of the '60s with that "hip cat of sophistication," the Pink Panther.
A second exhibition, "Pierre Daura: New Acquisitions," includes paintings, works on paper, and sculpture recently donated to the Daura Gallery by Martha R. Daura, the artist's daughter. The exhibition shows through April 13.
An opening reception for both exhibits will be held January 16, 4-5 p.m., at the Daura Gallery in the Dillard Fine Arts Center.
