2015 New Faculty Exhibition in Fine Arts Gallery
The Department of Art presents the 2015 New Faculty Exhibition in the Fine Arts Gallery. The exhibition will run Aug. 24 to Sept. 27, with a reception at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 27.
This exhibition reflects the academic specialty and individual creative endeavors of seven new Department of Art faculty members.
"Many of these artists are unique because they spend a great deal of time and energy with their students. Yet, they still manage to continue their own studio practice and produce fantastic artwork,"said Marc Mitchell, gallery director. "Our faculty members are known both regionally and nationally. Having an exhibition such as this allows us to highlight their artistic achievements. In addition, it is a fantastic opportunity for students to interact with their current and future faculty members."
The exhibition includes work by the following faculty: David Chioffi, associate professor of graphic design; Dylan DeWitt, clinical assistant professor of drawing; Sam King, clinical assistant professor of painting and coordinator of foundations; Marty Maxwell Lane, assistant professor of graphic design; Mathew McConnell, assistant professor of ceramics; Marc Mitchell, assistant professor and director of exhibitions; and Sean Morrissey, assistant professor of printmaking.
This event is free and open to the public. Support is provided by Department of Art and the Joy Pratt Markham Fund.
