New exhibit at Judith Rae Solomon Gallery celebrates student printmaking
November 13, 2019
The Judith Rae Solomon Gallery, located on the second floor of Bliss Hall, has opened a new exhibition titled “YSU Student Print Collection” that celebrates the printmaking work of Department of Art students.
The exhibit, celebrating its tenth anniversary, will be open to the public through Friday, October 4.
Associate professor of art Joseph D'Uva started the “YSU Student Print Collection” in August 2009. The goal was to compile a collection of student works that illustrate the variety of imagery and techniques utilized within fine art printmaking as an educational tool, as well as using the exhibit to acknowledge students' accomplishments within the medium.
“[The exhibit] showcases a selection of works from the collection, representing both current and former students,” D’Uva said. “As we celebrate printmaking's contributions to the studio art program over the past decade, we aim to educate our community of the importance, influence, and power of print media.”
Entry to the exhibit is free and open to the public. The gallery is open from 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM Monday through Friday.
