The Preston Arts Center, in Henderson, Kentucky, is hosting the group exhibition Closing Shift: USI Capstone Artists now through Friday, December 12. This exhibition features the creative work of six University of Southern Indiana artists majoring in studio art, photography, illustrations, graphic design, interactive media and art education.
The Senior Seminar courses in art and design at USI are capstone courses for art and art education majors, combining discussion of contemporary issues in the visual arts with practical knowledge in career or graduate school preparation, as well as evaluating students’ artistic growth and potential. This group exhibit is the last activity in these seminar courses and functions as a peak experience for the art majors at USI.
Brett Anderson, Associate Professor of Art, organized and curated this year’s exhibition. Artists participating in the show include Clementine Blair, Iain Girten, Nancy Grant, Caleb Johnson, Jean Raines and Gwendolyn Stuckey. All six artists will be graduating from USI in December.
A reception for the exhibition will be held at the Preston Art Center on Friday, December 5, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. All six artists will be in attendance and ready for feedback from the public during the event.
The Preston Arts Center is located on the campus of Henderson Community College campus, at 2660 South Green St. Henderson, Kentucky, 42420. The Art Center is open weekly, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
