This exhibition is being displayed from Tuesday, Sept. 3, through Wednesday, Oct. 30, in the second-floor gallery of the Dudley Building.
Viewers can expect to see an assorted collection of paintings and drawings that range from abstract expressionism to figurative works. The artists explore themes such as identity, space and place, history, and social justice using various techniques and materials to convey their messages.
Featured faculty artists are Marvette Aldrich, Tabari Boykin, Roymieco Carter, Douglas Cason, Daniela Alcivar-Castillo, Gabrielle Edwards, Karrington Gardner, Willie Hooker, Erin Humphrey, Jessica Kelly, Daniel Ramirez-Lamos
