2nd Annual Art Student Showcase Opens in North Gallery
The University Libraries Art Student Showcase returns Monday, Nov. 4, in the Carlson
Library North Gallery, and will run through Friday, Dec. 13.
This showcase is an opportunity for undergraduate students in the University Department
of Art to showcase their work on main campus. This year's show features student work
spanning painting, photography, printmaking, and textiles.
The University Libraries has long been a supporter of student art on campus, holding
pop-up exhibits in the past, as well as a successful Experiential Learning program
resulting in murals on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors of the Carlson Library. This annual Art Student Showcase is the newest way
for the library to continue that partnership and continue to build the connection
between the main campus and art school campus.
