Art Faculty Strut Their Stuff

The School of Art Collection and Galleries at 5X社区 has opened a new exhibition, the Biennial Faculty Show. The show features the work of full-time, part-time and emeritus (honored retiree) School of Art faculty.

鈥淭his is the premier school of art in Ohio now,鈥 said Anderson Turner, director of art galleries at 5X社区. 鈥淚t鈥檚 also the leading place where you can get a terminal degree in studio art in Northeast Ohio.鈥

The exhibit, presented with support from the Ohio Arts Council, is as unique as the faculty who produced it, in part because it displays work from current and retired faculty.
