The School of Art, Art History and Design presents the “2017 Biennial Faculty Exhibition” Jan. 18 through Feb. 3 in the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery in Richards Hall. For the first time, the exhibition will include faculty research from all three areas of the School—Studio Art, Art History and Graphic Design.

A closing reception will be held on First Friday, 5 to 7 p.m. Feb. 3 in the Gallery. The event is free and open to the public.

“This exhibition acquaints the University and public with the remarkable research being produced by our esteemed faculty,” said School of Art, Art History and Design director Robert Ladislas Derr.

In addition to the exhibition, the School of Art, Art History and Design has created the Curator, Critic, Collector Panel Discussion Series, which will also be held in the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery. The distinguished curator, critic and collector will each select the work of three faculty from the exhibition for a one-hour, informal conversation beginning at 2 p.m.
