Painting, sculpture, multimedia installations, drawings, photography and printmaking take center stage at the 2005 Student Art Exhibit running Tuesday, April 5, through Sunday, May 15, at Fairfield University's Thomas J. Walsh Art Gallery. The juried show begins with a wine and cheese reception from 6 to 8 p.m. in the gallery, located in the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts.
The eclectic exhibit includes pieces chosen by a three-person jury of submitted student works. Some were encouraged to enter their work by professors and some took it upon themselves to try their luck in the biennial student show, the eighth since 1991.
The pieces were judged on a variety of standards from size and craftsmanship to originality and exploration of an idea, said Jo Katherine Yarrington, professor, Visual and Performing Arts.
The show, which includes both individual and group projects, also highlights a number of installations, larger works assembled on site, said Diana Mille, Ph.D., director of the Walsh Art Gallery.
Admission to the exhibit is free. Gallery hours are Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. For more information, call 203-254-4000, ext. 2969.
