AU FACULTY ART EXHIBITION TO RUN THROUGH MAY 14 AT JULE COLLINS SMITH MUSEUM
“Art and the World in 2006,” an exhibition of works of art by faculty in Department of Art, is currently on exhibition at The Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art through May 14.
The exhibition features new works in a wide variety of media and techniques including ceramics, drawing, painting and sculpture. This biannual exhibition offers the audience a glimpse into the research and artistic production of the art faculty. Works by 17 members of the art faculty are on display.
Interim Head of the Art Department, Allyson Comstock, said, “The faculty in the Department of Art includes a diverse group of artists and designers. The work presented in this exhibition reflects each individual’s creative research as a practicing artist or designer. The exhibition provides the viewing public, and in particular students enrolled in the Department of Art, a wonderful opportunity to explore the creative work of the art faculty and to gain insight into how the work they do in their own studios complements and informs their classroom teaching.”
“The faculty exhibition is a great opportunity for the collegiate community to see the results of our art faculty’s ‘research and publications,’” added Michael W. Panhorst, director of AU’s Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art. “Like music and theatre faculty whose ‘scholarly research’ often manifests itself in performances (often newly written or interpreted), visual art faculty display their original work on gallery walls. Our museum is delighted to provide a venue for the exhibition of our art faculty’s recent work.”
