‘OPEN/CLOSE’ Marks Apex of Senior’s Art
Eight graduating art majors will offer their capstone art projects, which span oil painting, photography, serigraphy, sculpture, assemblages and digital painting from April 4-May 4 at the app Ridley-Tree Museum of Art. A free, public opening reception for “OPEN/CLOSE: app Graduate Exhibition” is Thursday, April 4 from 4-6 p.m. at the museum.
“I am most looking forward to seeing the culmination of all the hard work that the eight seniors have been investing in their new bodies of artwork finally displayed in the museum,” says Meagan Stirling, assistant professor of art. “It has been a wonderful opportunity to walk alongside them as they investigate themes of identity, self, friendship and the purely formal qualities of art. They are a tenacious and inspiring group of seniors.”
The artists include Madison Cowan, Madeline Kilpatrick, Lauren Koo, Marissa Lin, Bianca Moser, David Peterson, Isabel Sheehan and Amanda Zhang.
The museum is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. It is closed Sundays and college holidays. For more information, please visit or contact the museum at (805) 565-6162.
