WSU master of fine arts students are participating in some creative cross-pollination through two art exchange exhibitions with peers at nearby universities this month.
Students are showing work in printmaking, photography, painting, sculpture, installation, video and ceramics at the University of Idaho in Moscow through Feb. 20. They are sharing exhibit space at WSU Vancouver with students from Portland State University Feb. 15-April 15.
The collaborative shows are designed to introduce students from all three universities to other artists and their creative work while providing real-world experience in the many facets of exhibition planning and execution.
JJ Harty is among WSU students showing work in both exhibits.
“I’m participating because I love to share my work and ideas,” he said. “I also want to make connections with others artists and expand my curriculum vitae and professional portfolio while fostering communications and community between universities.”
