A native of Jamaica, Silbert Dyer has always practiced art as a youth, but decided to take it seriously during his college years. Dyer received his Bachelor of Arts in Art and minor in French from Augusta State University in 2008. His style boasts a loose, unrefined look riddled with illustrative edge. Dyer’s work has been featured in Downtown Augusta restaurants Sweet Lou’s and White Elephant, and Cutno Dance Studio. Admission: $5 adults; $3 seniors/military; $2 children/students. Please join us for the opening reception, Sunday, August 8, 2010 from 3 to 5 pm.
