“The Annual Faculty and Staff Exhibition gives our students and the community the opportunity to see the high caliber work of the Art Department’s faculty and staff. For the students who have never seen their professors’ work, this exhibition informs the students about the concepts and ideas their professors are working on,” says Department Chair Joanne Berke.
Similarly, Printmaking Professor Sarah Whorf states, “The exhibition is a visual dialogue with the students, and engenders a verbal dialogue that migrates back into the classroom.” The exhibition displays a variety of works that encompass diverse visual media; including painting, photography, installations, sculpture, and printmaking. More than twenty artists will be exhibiting their work. “It’s great to show work that is very new, fresh, and possibly a bit experimental, and also to great see what the rest of the faculty and staff are pursuing year to year,” comments Photography Professor Nicole Jean Hill.
