| 8/17/2018 | 9/22/2018 | | The Annual Faculty Exhibition offers an opportunity for the community to experience firsthand the inspirational and virtuoso talent in residence at Rhode Island College. The exhibit runs from Aug. 30-Sept. 21, with an opening reception on Thursday, Aug. 30, from 5-8 p.m. in Bannister Gallery. Gallery walk-throughs with exhibiting artists and refreshments will be included. Represented are the works of Craig Bachman, Juan Barboza-Gubo, Doug Bosch, Joost During, Bill Martin, Dianne Reilly, Johan van Aswegen and Frank Wang. These faculty artists are integral to the current aesthetic and formal dialogue in their various approaches to art practice, including research-based and interdisciplinary methods that are at the core of best practice models. RIC’s faculty exhibits widely and receive many prestigious awards, grants and residencies. As a result, they encourage students, by their example, to think across boundaries. Collectively, these distinguished, award-winning artists bring a unique vision to the region’s cultural tapestry. | Victoria Gao | vgao@ric.edu | Yes |
