Dave has 19 paintings on display, including the largest he has painted--nearly 4 x 6 feet that is permanently hanging in the Alumni Board Room. The Alumni Center can be entered from the Duck Pond side, or from the new Inn at Virginia Tech & Skelton Conference Center. Simply go through the Skelton Conference Center into the Holzman Alumni Center & you'll be on the second floor gallery.
