“Swag: Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition”
Marietta College Art Department continues its exhibition season with Swag: Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition. The exhibition will be held in the Hermann Fine Art gallery, third floor, Hermann Fine Arts Center, which is located on the Marietta College campus at the corner of Fourth and Butler streets. The exhibition will run from February 24 to March 24, 2012 with a catered opening reception on Friday, February 24, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.
This juried exhibition features work done between February 2011 and February 2012, by students enrolled in a Marietta College art or graphic design class. A variety of media will be represented, including drawing, print making, oil painting, graphic design, ceramics, and photography. Student work will be juried by Ohio University assistant professor Ray Klimek and Alix Northrup of Ullman Designs. A best of show prize will be awarded as well as prizes for outstanding work in each medium.
New this year, the show will be curated entirely by students enrolled in the Art History 461: Art of Collecting and Museum Practices class. As part of the curriculum, students will take care of all aspects of the show from developing promotional materials and attending to the press, to installation and display. Dr. Chaya Chandrasekhar, who is leading the class says, “This is a way for students to gain hands-on curatorial and exhibition experience. It helps build their resumes and prepares them better for museum and gallery work.” Senior Joe Dillon, senior journalism major and art history minor, said, “The class is made up of so many different majors and personalities. We’re all benefitting in different ways. Personally, my career goals include working in a museum or gallery setting, so this practical experience will be so valuable.
Professor Beth Nash, exhibition coordinator, says of the exhibition: “I look forward to the student show every year to see some of the exciting new work that students have produced in the past year.”
The exhibition and opening are free and open to the public. Regular gallery hours are Monday through Friday 9:00am – 10:00pm and Saturday and Sunday 1:00pm – 10:00pm. Hermann Fine Arts Center is handicapped accessible.
