Join us for the 34th annual BFA / BA Senior Art Exhibit and the Juried Student Art
Exhibition. All aspects of the art program will be represented: painting, drawing,
printmaking, photography, graphic design, 3-D design, ceramics, sculpture and glass.
In the Atrium of the School of Art senior Lizette Toto will display her BFA installation, The Corner Office. As a design major this work is a culmination of Toto’s studies at IWU.
At the virtual reception on Saturday, April 10th, many awards will be presented: The Ames Library Purchase Award, the CLA Social Sciences Art Purchase Award, the Admissions Art Purchase Award, The School of Art Purchase Award, The Mayo Alumni Award, The Sipich Alumni Award, The Office of Inclusion and Diversity Award, Gallery Awards, Faculty Selection Awards, The Office of Residential Life “Hall of the Year” Award, The President’s Award.
Many of the above listed honors are purchase awards. This means chosen artworks will be on display in a campus building for years to come. This honor is exciting for both the student, whose work will be prominently displayed and seen by the community and for the university which prides itself on supporting and encouraging our emerging artists.
