2012 Senior Art Exhibit

Visual Insights opened with a great reception last Saturday, and the Ross Museum is again open on the normal schedule!

Be sure to stop by and see the work of 19 seniors as they prepare to make their way in the world. We'll also be open Saturday, May 12th, before graduation!

New Exhibits Coming Up

Currently, the Ross and Gallery 2001 in Beeghly Library are closed while we install the Senior Fine Art Majors exhibit in the Ross Museum.

The Senior 2012 show is titled Visual Insights and will be a showcase of the students as they culminate four years of university learning. The Ross Museum will re-open on Saturday, April 14 with a reception for the seniors from 5-7pm. Regular museum hours will resume on Sunday, April 15 through Sunday, May 13.

Gallery 2001 in Beeghly Library will host a Gallery Talk and Reception on Thursday, April 12 at 4:10pm for In Sight and Mind: A Photographic Collaboration with Women of Rural Panama.

2 new Photography Exhibits

The Ross is closed now for Winter Break until January 17th, but I've just hung 2 new exhibits in our satellite galleries (with considerable assistance from the Second Assistant!)












In Beeghly Library we've got luscious floral photography by Julia McLemore, just the thing to brighten up a dreary winter day.

Across the Jaywalk in Mowry Alumni Center, we've got the photography of Moshen Shirzadian, some colorful and vibrant, some sepia and moody, all of it thought provoking!



Both buildings will be open Wednesday & Thursday December 21 & 22 til 5pm, close for a week or so, then re-open January 4th during the week 9am - 5pm. So if you need a quick activity, grab your mittens and stop in!

Hope to see you Friday!

Photographs, Drawings, Mixed Media

We right in the middle of changing 4 exhibitions in all 3 of our venues. First up and complete is the 2011-12 National Colloquium Exhibition, "Sudan: The Cost of Silence" which is currently on view in Gallery 2001/Beeghly Library. Fabulous black and white photographs by Ryan Spencer Reed, giving a face to the suffering. Mr. Reed will be on campus on October 24th to give an illustrated talk about his experiences and his artwork.




Also up and waiting for your perusal is the new exhibit in Mowry Alumni Gallery (in Mowry Alumni Center) titled "Reflections". The drawings and mixed media pieces by Karen Poulson are layered and manipulated, calling for close contemplation. Her work is in the Lobby, Upstairs, and there are 3 pieces in the Conference and Monnett Room as well. She'll be giving a talk on Thursday, September 29th.

School's Out for Summer!

....but all the exhibitions are in place and ready to go! Just to tantalize you, here are photos of the 2 new exhibits in the Ross Museum, which will be re-opening after the summer break on August 18th.



The 1st exhibit is Sculpture by emeritus professor Ebb Haycock. The pieces form a mini-retrospective, and cover a vast range of styles, subjects and media.



The 2nd exhibit is Paintings by alumna Marilyn Ashbrook, and are mezmorizing for their intricate details and juxtaposition of subjects.





Both these exhibits will open August 18th and be on view until September 16th. In the meantime, you can still check out Mowry Alumni Center during the week and see the fabulous photo-collages of Pamela Becker, or cross to the other side of the JayWalk and see an outdoor sculpture in front of Beeghly Library, then wander inside the Library to view more sculpture by Carol Boram-Hays. These 2 exhibits will be open all summer long, until September, too!
