Additionally, the Birke Art Gallery will present “Stressed to Impress: Selected Foundations Works,” an exhibition highlighting outstanding work by students who recently completed the Foundations program and review process. Juried by the School of Art & Design faculty, the exhibition will feature some of the most compelling works from this stage of student development.
“Stressed to Impress” will be on view from Nov. 18 through Dec. 20, with an awards reception from 5 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 20. Awards will be announced at 5:30 p.m.
These exhibitions showcase the success of Marshall’s art students, both as they are learning and as they prepare to exit the program, said Gallery Director Courtney Chapman.
“The Foundations Review and Capstone Exhibitions showcase student creativity within the School of Art & Design. They give our community a glimpse into the diversity and depth of our students’ work and highlight the talent emerging from our classrooms and studios,” said Mark Zanter, director of the School of Art & Design. “I invite everyone to come and celebrate the expressive and thought-provoking pieces our students have created and to witness the growth of these new artistic voices firsthand.”
