The annual exhibit at Metro State University’s Gordon Parks Gallery features multimedia works produced by undergraduate Studio Arts majors in their final year of study.

“This year’s exhibition features work produced by Studio Arts majors which reflect rigorous and highly creative practices. We are proud to present such an amazing group of innovative thinkers and artists,” says Gordon Parks Gallery Director Dr. Megan Arney Johnston.

“The Student Salon showcases projects created by Studio Arts majors in their final year of study. These artworks stimulate thought and wonder through the various materials and ways of presentation. It is so rewarding to witness the growth of this work over the course of the year. The final projects on display include oil, acrylic and watercolor paintings, relief printmaking, sculpture, photography and digital illustration,” Amy Sands, professor of Studio Arts.

The exhibit opens with a reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 26. The show will continue through April 16. Gallery hours are 1 to 7 p.m., Monday through Thursday and Saturday 11am – 5pm. The gallery is located on the first floor of Metro State’s Library and Learning Center, 645 East Seventh Street, at the university’s Saint Paul campus.
