This spring we have four, one-week shows for the BFA Exhibitions so that each graduating senior has plenty of room to display the body of work they developed throughout their last two semesters of coursework in their area of specialization, said Justin Miller, Gallery coordinator.
These exhibitions will display pieces from the various areas of emphasis in the Department of Art. They are clear evidence of dedicated studio practice and rigorous, creative and academic investigation. The emerging artists showcased in these exhibits demonstrate a college careers worth of accrued knowledge, artistic exploration and rigorous critique, and a strong focus on professional goals.
The exhibitions are culminations of years of fine arts study at Southeast and show that fostering and challenging the creative process can produce successful, accomplished bodies of work.
All exhibitions and receptions will be in the River Campus Art Gallery, which is located on the first floor of the historic Seminary Building in Room 106.
River Campus Art Gallery hours are 1-5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1-7 p.m. on First Fridays. All gallery exhibitions, events and talks are free and open to the public. For more information, contact Powers Nowlin at rcgallerycoordinator@semo.edu or (573) 651-2865.
