ART EXHIBITION OPENS AT METHODIST UNIVERSITY
FAYETTEVILLE, NC—David McCune will present a collection of artwork in an
exhibition titled “Heavy Metal” at the David McCune International Art Gallery March 14 – April

McCune is a nationally recognized metal wall art and sculpture artist with works
displayed in homes, businesses, government facilities, colleges and universities across the
country, and over twenty galleries. While he is well known for his metal sculpture, he also works
in watercolors, acrylic, metal wall art, jewelry, and custom furniture.
“In my Heavy Metal 2011 spring show, I have combined the disciplines of art, science,
mathematics, engineering, and technology to produce a series of two-dimensional and threedimensional
art,” said McCune.
The David McCune International Art Gallery is located in the William F. Bethune Center
for Visual Arts on the campus of Methodist University. The gallery hours are 10:00 a.m. – 5:00
p.m. Monday – Friday, from March 14 to April 4, 2011.
The opening reception for the exhibit will take place prior to the Fayetteville Symphony

theatrical productions, seminars, and facilities for special events,” said Delmas Crisp, Ph.D.,
