The annual QU Faculty Selects 2019 Student Art Exhibition will feature a variety of student artwork selected by art faculty and produced during the current academic year by students (majors and non-majors) enrolled in various art courses offered by the QU Art Program.
The annual Baccalaureate Exhibition presents a retrospective of each graduate’s growth and artistic development during their career at QU. Students exhibiting in the show select their best works from a variety of media with a focus on an area of particular interest. Students presenting works include Rhonda Dodson, Gabrielle Haynes-Levett, Taylor McMonagle, Brooklyn Peile, Peyton Ross and Lauren Suchland.
You are invited to a gallery reception that will be held Sunday, May 5 from 2–4 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.
The baccalaureate show is the capstone of the senior experience through which an art major makes the transition from student to professional. Each candidate prepares a comprehensive portfolio of work, assessing strengths and
areas for improvement. The students participate in a senior seminar that enables each to focus on particular facets of development as an artist. During the final semester, the students collaborate to plan a professional show, designing the display area, preparing publicity, developing the catalog, and arranging a reception. Finally, each artist presents his or her portfolio to a panel of art professionals and professors for review and critique.
The Gray Gallery is open Monday-Thursday, 8:30 am-11 pm; Friday, 8:30 am-4:30 pm; Saturday, Closed; Sunday, 5-11 pm. For additional information, contact Robert Mejer, Gray Gallery curator, at mejerbob@quincy.edu or call 217-228-5275.
