Teachers Show!

Students Show!

The Department of Art’s Lower Art Gallery, located in B45 Center for the Arts, is dedicated to showing Art student and alumnus works, as well as regional, national, and international works.

The Lower Gallery at times offers opportunities to graduate students to curate a distinctive show. In the past these exhibitions have included the works of the Guerrilla Girls, Regina José Galindo, Future Death Toll, Lynn Hershman Leeson and Clement Valla among others, and themes have ranged from politics, biology, religion, racism and science. Guest-curated exhibition request may be received by the Art Resource Manager. See contact below.

Current Exhibition

Art exhibtiion poster with a black icon symbol like a camera shutter, and text that reads: "Circulation Issues is a duo photography exhibition of Department of Art MFA Alumni Hope Mora (2020) and Jeremiah Ariaz (2004). Mora and Ariaz have turned their lenses on subjects to be valorized and seen, incorporating their perspectives on what is newsworthy, and how ideas and the stories of subjects get circulated. Within the constraints of contemporary information ecosystems, there are particular social and economic pressures that mold and hinder “real news”. In this day, considered “an epidemic of news deserts and ghost papers” (Margaret Sullivan, Ghosting the News, 2020), Mora focuses on making time and space for the production of “real news”, within the capacity for her output, in her community (Pecos, Texas). Ariaz hones in on the meta backend of news, the faces and places involved in the making and withstanding-breaking of small town news, from where he hails (Kansas). Together these works tell a story of what it can mean to develop presence of intentional and caring gazes, as “free” agent distributors of local culture and social analysis, in the information saturated, yet too often meaning diluted and disembodied, America of the present.".
