Art and Design students now have a new place to display and share their work with the Arcadia community—a new Student Art Gallery in Landman Library. The Student Art Gallery is located on the lower level of the library in the former microfiche room.
The Art and Design Department opened the gallery with FADE, a freshman exhibition, on Oct. 20. There are 19 works in the show, including 14 two-dimensional works made with a variety of materials including conte pencil, charcoal, sharpie, ink and pencil. There are five superhero costumes made with a variety of materials including fabric, copper, embroidery thread, fake leaves, rocks and bells. “The 2D work ranges in size from 8.5″x11″ to 18″x36″ and the 3D work is life-size since they are costumes the students wore for critique,” says Carole Loeffler, Assistant Professor of Art and Design and Coordinator of Foundations.
“The Landman Library Student Gallery exists to showcase work made and installed by students. It is important for our students to learn the professional practice of installing an exhibition and to begin to understand the effect of their work on an audience,” adds Loeffler. The jurors for FADE were Art and Design faculty members Karen Misher and Maryann Worrell, and the student juror was Lydia Jacobs ‘10.
