This exhibition features creative works produced by Metropolitan State’s Studio Arts instructors. From paintings and book arts to photographs and pottery, this show highlights the multi-media efforts of resident and community faculty. Participants include: Eric Anderson, Michael Banning, Ricardo Bennett Guzmán, Zoe Cinel, Beth Dow, Ursula Hargens, Kelli Nelson, Amy Sands, Margo Selski, Alonso Sierralta, Erica Spitzer Rasmussen, and Melodee Strong.

Regarding the exhibition, Erica Rasmussen, resident faculty member and gallery director, said, “Although this exhibition is open to the entire university community, exposure to such a show can be an invaluable tool for students interested in taking art classes. Close inspection of imagery and objects can reveal subtleties about the work that might otherwise be lost through limited contact or reproductions. Similarly, investigating the work on an intimate level will likely communicate a great deal about an instructor’s technical abilities, personal interests, and conceptual concerns.”

Reception is Thursday, October 27, 5–7:30 p.m., featuring a musical performance by Miguel Gonzalez.
