Ready for the holidays?
Austin Peay clubs and organizations are celebrating the holidays. Here are some of the events happening this week:
- Tau Sigma Sugar Cookie Decorating from 1-3 p.m. Monday, Nov. 29, in the Adult, Nontraditional and Transfer Student Center, Morgan University Center (MUC) Room 111.

‘Preserve & Protect’ at The New Gallery continues
“Preserve & Protect” – a new exhibit at The New Gallery in the Art + Design building through Dec. 10 – looks at the complex ways in which textiles, particularly garments, relay the resilience of a culture – worn for protection but also as a way to project one’s identity. These textiles have the power to preserve but also rewrite cultural history.
Artists in the exhibit include Anangookwe Wolf, Paul Rucker, Winnie van der Rijn, Michael Sylvan Robinson and Stephanie Syjuco.
This exhibition – which is co-curated by Michael Dickins, Austin Peay’s director of galleries, and Erika Diamond, assistant director of CVA galleries at Chautauqua Institution – also will be open during the next Clarksville First Thursday Art Walk from 5-7:30 p.m. on Dec. 2.
The exhibit and all events are free and open to the public.
A virtual tour of the exhibition is available at www.apsu.edu/art-design/thenewgallery.
