St. Philip's College is celebrating Black History Month with a series of events in February, including an exhibit of work by San Antonio artist Bernice Appelin-Williams.

Always challenging or inquiring, she began to explore the formal possibilities inherent in her assemblages/ installations, first through floor-standing sculpture and multi-media constructions, then site installations, mixed media collages; always incorporating collage with both metaphysical and ethnic references. www.alamo.edu/spc
