Dyas’ work featured

Art Lecturer Sandy Dyas exhibited a new body of photography and video, “my eyes are not shut,” at the Anderson Gallery at Drake University in Des Moines Sept. 7 through Oct. 12.

Dyas gave a gallery talk at the opening, and author Chris Offutt wrote an essay for the catalogue. The exhibit was funded by a Kickstarter project. Lawrence University has invited Dyas to exhibit this work on its campus in 2014. Meanwhile, founding Director Richard Katrovas recently invited Dyas to be the U.S. photographer for The Prague Summer Program. Dyas will teach a four-week academic-credit photography workshop in July in Prague.
