Winter 2017 Exhibition flyer

The Outreach Art Program Winter 2017 Exhibition consists of the work of 33 high school students divided into six teams that created individual drawings, plates, photos, text-based graphic designs and poetry The result is an accordion-style book per group.  These books are hand bound and in small editions, so all students will have their own original with additional sets for display.  On view will be the books and some other support material. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

Located in the 2nd floor lobby of the Foundation Building. Opening reception is Tuesday, February 7 at 6 p.m.
