METTLE WITH IT

This show investigates a person's ability to show true mettle by coping with difficulties or facing a demanding situation in a resiliant way. Artists will incorporate metal into their pieces and connect to something either in themselves or the creation of their work.

For the first time in 1st Thursday's history, there will be two 1st Thursday's galleries with two separate themes on November 2nd. Eclectic Knights IX, originally planned for September, was rescheduled due to Hurricane Irma but will now join "Mettle With It" to provide guests with an opportunity to experience double the art.

This is the 9th annual event for the UCF College of Arts and Humanities Alumni Chapter. This Knight of Art will feature work by UCF alumni, faculty, staff and students in a variety of media.
