Marshall University’s School of Art & Design invites the public to end-of-the-semester exhibitions showcasing the work of its students. The exhibitions include “Ouroboro-Disco: Selected Foundations Works” in the Birke Art Gallery and senior Capstone Exhibitions in the Charles W. & Norma C. Carroll Gallery.

The Ouroboro-Disco: Selected Foundations Works will be on display in the Birke Art Gallery from April 21 to May 2. This exhibition marks the culmination of the foundations program and review process, highlighting exceptional student works selected by the School of Art & Design faculty. An awards reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on April 23, with awards announced at 5:30 p.m.

The Capstone Exhibitions will be held in the Charles W. & Norma C. Carroll Gallery from April 21 to May 1. This series of group exhibitions showcases the work of 10 senior students from the School of Art & Design, each presenting their final projects.

Capstone Group 1, “Luminary,” features the work of Sophie Leffew, Lily Narraway, Leah Teasdale, Lana Thacker and Kaylie Williams. The exhibition will be on view from April 21 to 24, with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. on April 21.

Capstone Group 2, “Personally Identifiable Information,” features works from Maribren Flores, Lyf Moore, Brooke Mullins, Kaz Slonaker and Joshua White.

The exhibition will be on view April 28 to May 1, with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. on April 28. Each reception will host artist talks from the students beginning at 5:30 p.m.

“Our students have been working extremely hard this semester on all floors of the Visual Arts Center and the Art Warehouse,” said Gallery Director Courtney Chapman. “Exhibiting work always has a sense of vulnerability to it, whether it’s a student’s first time showing in a gallery space — which is often the case for the Foundations Review exhibition — or they’re preparing for their final exhibition as a student at Marshall. These exhibitions are always highly anticipated by our community members though, and truly a wonderful way to see what incredible talent is emerging from our program.”

Galleries are located on the first floor of the Visual Arts Center at 927 Third Ave. in Huntington.

The exhibitions are free and open to all. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information or inquiries, contact Gallery Director Courtney Chapman at galleries@marshall.edu.
