INVITATION TO THE EXHIBITION

Soon to receive our undergraduate degrees, yet not wholly immersed in the world of careers or graduate education, we find ourselves poised between “here,” the latest piece of work, and “there,” an ever-challenging search for the next. It is this midpoint we call attention to in the galleries that will compose (T)here. (T)here is an environment in which the past and future coexist as a celebration of ideas already accomplished and a meditation on that which is to be.

The exhibition will include a variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, digital images, projections, photography, performance, and site-specific installation.
