Alumni Exhibition
- October 23 – November 14
Reception: October 23 from 4-6 pm
The Crossman Gallery is hosting a new exhibit featuring the work of seven Art Department graduates in a group show. The Alumni Exhibition provides an opportunity for visitors to see the current work of artists attending the university from the 1970’s to more recent graduates. The show also allows for a look at how graduates from the Department have used skills obtained during their years at UW-Whitewater to achieve careers in the arts. Disciplines from education, studio art production and related professional careers in design and photography are all ably represented in the exhibit.
While each artist in the exhibit is unique, a common theme in this exhibit is an interest in the human figure, and the multiple approaches to the depiction of the figure provides some insight into the varied processes utilized by the artists.
My personal thanks are extended to all the artists: Jenni Brant, Greg Gent, Mutope Johnson, Frank Korb, Rachel Roemer, Ralph M. Selensky, and Patrick Turner. Special thanks are also due to Patrick Turner’s family and friends for assistance in providing his artwork for the show.
