A person's signature is defined as a distinctive form of identification in authorizing a check or document. Two USAO graduates and five graduating fine arts majors at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma will let their art define them during Signature, the spring bachelor of fine arts art exhibit at the university.

Signature is scheduled March 28-April 17 in the USAO Art Gallery. An opening reception is scheduled March 28 at 6 p.m. The gallery is located in Davis Hall on the USAO campus. Gallery hours are weekdays 9 a.m.-4 p.m. The show and opening reception are free and open to the public.

The photos of Chase Doctorman are just a part of the art work featured in "Signature" -- the fall bachelor of fine arts art exhibition March 28-April 17 in the USAO Art Gallery. The work of five graduating seniors and two graduates will be featured. An opening reception is scheduled March 28 at 6 p.m. The gallery is located in Davis Hall on the USAO campus.

Generally in southwestern Oklahoma the term 'fencing' refers to the containment of livestock in a field or pen. But on April 9, fencing involves foils, lunges and a lot of fun at the University of Science and Arts.

Children and adults alike are invited to take a stab at swordplay when the USAO fencing class presents Foils and Fun, an evening of fencing at 7 p.m. in the Davis Hall Theatre.

“We would really enjoy having the Chickasha community come out,” said Dr. Nancy Osborn, associate professor of physical education. “Fencing is an Olympic event and a wonderful sport. It requires finesse and strategy for scoring against your opponent – it’s not just flailing away.”

The sounds of spring are in the air -- birds singing, lawnmowers running and the Concert Choir at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma getting ready for its spring concert March 31.

The Concert Choir's spring concert is scheduled at 7:30 p.m. in the Davis Hall Theatre on the USAO campus. The concert is free and the public is invited.

"The concert is scheduled to include sacred and secular music from various periods," said Dr. Jan Hanson, professor of music and conductor of the choir. Seasonal music will include the Gregorian Chant, Stabat Mater, along with several settings of the same melody from different periods -- including the 20th century.
