IAIA 2019 Fall Senior Graduates (Studio Arts)

Thirteen, the IAIA 2019 Fall Senior Graduating Exhibition, opens November 14 through December 10. Seniors came together through their individualized voices to speak on present states of acknowledgment, with-in-ness, and cultural concerns. Thirteen, is a culmination of the students’ final semester, where they worked closely with advisors, faculty, staff, and colleagues to create and articulate their conceptually driven body of work. This exhibition represents a capstone to their course of study, as well as their academic experience.

Reception on Thursday, November 14, from 6–8 pm in the Balzer Contemporary Edge Gallery on the IAIA Campus—light dinner and refreshments served. Exhibition on view November 14–December 10, 2019.
