Fall 2014 - Art Everywhere!

It's a new academic year, and Fall 2014 is underway! There are 4 excellent exhibitions up and open for all to enjoy.

In the Ross Museum, we have 2 alumni exhibitors: Chris Kahler '91: Chris Kahler: Two Decades and Jim Zivic '83: Tightrope: The Line Between Art and Design.

Jim shares his drawings, plans, photographs, furniture and sculpture in the Kuhlman Gallery, and in the Mayhew and West Galleries, we have Chris' paintings.



In Gallery 2001 on the first floor of Beeghly Library, John Sabraw has created a new series for the 2014 Sagan National Colloquium on the theme of Water. John uses minerals from the run-off of mining to create beautiful pigments.


In Mowry Alumni Center, the work of Ann Seiler O'Brien '69 is on display on both floors. Ann uses egg tempera and acrylic to create her abstracts and landscapes.

Barbara Frentsos Butler exhibit

Now on view in the Mowry Alumni Center gallery, works by Barbara Frentsos Butler, '47. Barbara currently lives in Mansfield, Ohio, and is sharing her work with us. Her pieces are abstractions in acrylic, ink, and mixed media. Both large and small scale, they are glowing on the walls right now! As an added venue, 8 of her largest works are hung in the Gallery 2001 space in Beeghly Library, just across the Jaywalk from Mowry. It's a 2-for-1 exhibit!
