Love juicy gossip? Compulsively eavesdropping on other people's conversations? Chuck Hitner is just the person for you. Hitner is the featured faculty artist at the UA Museum of Art's "Equal Shots: Paintings Overheard." It is Hitner's response to random conversations he has overheard from Tucsonans since February of this year. Hitner's inclusion of words and phrases on the canvases offers the paintings a note-to-self touch that so many can relate to.
The collection is on display through Oct. 29 and is free.
