College of Fine Arts Newletter - Jan / Feb 2023

  

Transmissions: The XXIV Faculty Biennial

The Faculty Biennial is a venerable tradition on the WSU campus and the longest-running series of exhibitions at the Ulrich Museum. The Biennial represents the breadth of creative work and research being undertaken by the faculty of the School of Art, Design and Creative Industries (ADCI).

The Biennial’s theme, Transmissions, seeks to prompt reflections and start conversations about the altered creative landscape in which artists and educators, like the rest of us, find themselves in the wake of nearly three years of disruptions and changes. Making art in response to global paradigm shifts has set new challenges and opened new pathways for creative reflection.

Check out some of the work that will be showcased during this show below. Transmissions will be on display from January 26th to April 22nd.
