Bluffton University to host sculpture exhibit

"Sculpture Works by Greg Mueller," an exhibition in Bluffton University's Sauder Visual Arts Center, will open Sunday, Oct. 30, with a reception from 2-4 p.m. in the center's Grace Albrecht Gallery.

Free and open to the public, the exhibition includes two-dimensional wall prints documenting public art projects, as well as pedestal and floor pieces, and a larger exterior work installed near the center. Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 1-5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays through Nov. 20.

Mueller, a sculpture instructor at Bowling Green State University from 2002-08, is now Sesquicentennial Sculptor at Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minn. He previously spent five years as a studio apprentice at the college, where he is now creating works to commemorate its 150th anniversary next year.

Mueller also earned his bachelor's degree in studio art in Minnesota, at St. John's University in Collegeville. He holds a master of fine arts degree in sculpture from Montana State University and, before returning to Minnesota last year, was an assistant professor of sculpture at Bloomsburg (Pa.) University
