As part of the opening reception for Of This Place: Great Basin Neighbors at the Shaw Gallery, artist Gregg Deal was scheduled to participate in an evening of conversation and performance on Friday, Sept. 4. The program included an artist talk at 6 p.m. in Kimball Arts 143 and a performance at 7 p.m. in the Shaw Gallery. The event was free and open to the public.
