Vanishing Point: Senior Studio Art Majors Exhibition 2017 will be on view at the Hillstrom Museum of Art, Gustavus Adolphus College, from the College’s Honors Day, May 6, through Commencement, May 28, 2017. An opening reception will be held as part of Honors Day, May 6, from 4 to 6 p.m.
This exhibition is a culminating event in the curriculum of the graduating senior studio art majors and is a required component of their studies. It demonstrates the diversity of styles and approaches taken by the student artists, some of whom intend to continue studying or working in art after graduation. On display are works by Liliana Benge Briggs, Nathaniel Kraft, Paul Morse, and Theresa Warren.
Their works were created using a variety of different media including oil and acrylic painting; charcoal, graphite, and ink drawing; ceramics; lithography; and mixed media. Faculty from the College’s Department of Art and Art History served as jurors for the exhibition, selecting the strongest works from a group of submissions by each student. The exhibit was installed with the assistance of the student artists, and a number of the works on view are being offered for sale.
The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public. The Museum’s regular hours are weekdays (Monday through Friday), 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and weekends (Saturday and Sunday), 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. For more information, visit the Museum’s website at gustavus.edu/hillstrom.
