The Fine Arts Faculty Exhibition will be presented free to the public at the Washington State University Museum of Art Aug. 12-Sept. 14. A reception will be at 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 22, in the museum gallery.
The museum showcases the exhibition at the beginning of the school year so incoming students are immediately exposed to the manifold talents of the WSU fine arts faculty.
History Professor Laurie Mercier (WSU Vancouver) specializes in labor issues and says the growing disconnect between unions and the public is apparent in her classrooms.
Working with students, she’s developed about a dozen narrative and photo panels displayed in a new exhibit at Clark County Historical Museum.
Encounters with creativity await visitors to the Washington State University Museum of Art’s annual Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition, April 5-May 4. An opening reception will be at 6 p.m. Friday, April 5, in the museum gallery. Museum admission is always free.
The display of work by MFA graduate candidates was organized by Keith Wells, the late Museum of Art curator.
“This exhibition provides a wide range of styles for faculty, students and local museum constituents,” Wells said. “The world class faculty at WSU encourage the MFA candidates to become more confident and articulate in their convictions. The museum presents this year’s graduate thesis work in hopes that undergraduate students, first year graduate students and anyone willing to be moved by art will find it a fun and stimulating experience.”
