The work of more than 40 artists will be showcased in the Dorothy Uber Bryan Gallery of the Fine Arts Center Dec. 1-15 and
Jan. 8-16. An opening reception, with many of the artists in attendance, will be held from 7-9 p.m. Nov. 30.
“Community members will be able to see the exceptional quality and diversity of the work produced by the faculty,” Gallery
Director Jacqui Nathan said. “This is also a great opportunity for students to discover and be inspired by the work of their
teachers, some of whom are recognized on an international level, as well as for the artists to share the vitality of their
research with colleagues.”
The exhibition includes paintings, prints, drawings, sculptural glass and stone, intricate metal works, photography and design
and fiber works, as well as video and mixed media installations.
A concurrent exhibition, “Trench Cuisine: A Rock Band’s Recipe for Semi-Success,” will be on view in the Willard Wankelman
Gallery from Nov. 30-Dec. 15 and from Jan. 8-25. A reception to meet the artist will be held at 7 p.m. Jan. 25.
Described as a “multimedia songbook presentation by Craig Matis,” the exhibit is a lively exploration of the intersecting
musical and visual interpretations of the artist’s experiences as composer, director and performer for the rock band Trench
Cuisine.
Matis, an artist and musician from Cleveland, describes it as a “wacky and surreal story about the band’s journey from its
inception, and culminating with its tour through the United Kingdom.”
Visitors listen to a recorded story with background music, sound effects and some of Trench Cuisine’s music while viewing
the visual interpretations, or “songbooks,” which are three-dimensional collages created with folded paper and spray paint.
Gallery hours for both exhibitions are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 1-4 p.m. on Sundays. Admission is free.
