The Art and Design Department is pleased to announce that In Process, the spring 2022 faculty exhibition, is now open in the Czurles-Nelson Gallery in Upton Hall through March 16.

In Process
As a twist on our traditional faculty exhibition, this year we are highlighting the diverse processes of our Art and Design faculty. In observing finished artwork, the viewer usually only sees an end result. The artist's creative process—the thought, labor, and love that went into creating a piece—is not always transparent. Through this unique exhibition, we lean into the Czurles-Nelson Gallery as a teaching space and show our students and visitors how our diverse creative processes are anything but linear. A work and concept does not spring into being but is the end result of a labor of love and passion for what we do and who we are as artists.
Displayed here are concepts or samples that are perhaps temporarily abandoned and picked up again: tools, material explorations, or finished work that is surrounded by all the samples and drawings that lead up to its creation. We hope students and visitors will enjoy this rare glimpse into the unique creative processes of our faculty. The exhibition demonstrates how every work is the culmination of scholarly research, extended periods of brainstorming, and trial and error—all done in the spare time between duties of teaching and service.
