Stephens Fellow Artist in Residence Show Curated by Collin Williams

Reception: Thurs., Sept. 1, 4 to 6 pm

This year marks the first season of the Art Department’s newly formed Artist-in-Residence program. Over the summer of 2022 a series of 3 artists will take up residency on campus. During this period of creative exploration, they will work directly with student assistants to produce their work. Our first exhibition of the Fall semester will showcase the artwork produced and will include a panel discussion including all the artists. This year’s focus will be on printmaking, and this first class of artists will be the Stephens Printmaking Fellows, named after Professor Emeritus Scott Stephens, who served as our Printmaking concentration director for 39 years.
