portfolio reviews loomed, pounced, and faded back into the autumn night




On Tuesday evening, the sophomores, juniors, and seniors waited quietly with signs and pieces of masking tape in hand, ready to pounce when the clock struck five. They worked through the night to curate a series of galleries packed to the gills with new art. The next morning, a brilliant team of faculty whipped through the final round of portfolio reviews, passing on their wisdom for nearly 8 hours straight.



The galleries quickly filled with art on Sunday afternoon.



Frightening & encouraging posters littered the hallways.

a student's response to our installation from K. Johnson Bowles, 'For Better or For Worse and Other Mixed Messages'

from Sierra Campoli, class of 2008:

I feel like I'm in an old, deserted farmhouse at sunset. The flies are swarming everywhere. There are signs of a life that used to exist in this old house with chipped old wooden windows and doors. The doilies have been left, some discolored from the sun, others collecting dust. The crows remind visitors that the life in the old farmhouse is gone. Many happy marriages entered and left. Now all that is left is the color of sunsets on the drapes. The crows try to hide in the doilies and drapes, but you can't deny that the only life left is in the flies that swarm inside.

our second round of fall shows - update

We're very fortunate to have three amazing solo shows running this fall. Our students have been engaging with the exhibitions throughout October, writing essays, making sketches, helping renew the balloon supply in Mary & Stephan's exhibit, and discussing the projects in class. Enjoy these photos.
