Department of Art Events

"Nine Hours Ahead" Nine Hours Ahead is a collection of work born from our shared experience living abroad in Siena, Italy. Through everyday journaling and painting, we recorded the sights, sounds, and emotions we were exposed to during our travels. Living in this hub of contemporary and historical art was an artist’s dream, and with this exhibit we invite the viewer to experience it with us. Represented are the artists Gavin Brister, Wilfred Lim, Mia Radostitz, and Hana Taylor.

 

"you know that feeling?" You know that feeling? is rooted in genuine creativity that rejects the restrictions of art within institutionalized academia that creates unrealistic expectations and timelines. The participating artists: Sammy Grubman, Courtney McCall, and Amiya McInnis aim to reclaim that feeling of stimulation and satiation that comes with creating art within one’s own ability and temporal capacities. Within their works, they emphasize the emotions tied to the physical and mental process of creating art.
