See the best work from art classes in the last year at the opening night party and awards ceremony (with prizes). The Art Students Annual show is a Puget Sound tradition. Students enter work from art classes, and a juror selects artwork for the show, which will be in Kittredge Gallery for four weeks.

Reception for Art Show - Subject to Change

Join us for the reception of Janet Marcavage's newest exhibition, "Subject to Change."

Marcavage, one of the University's Distinguished Professors of Art, investigates the layering of color and the interaction of marks – and the physical, conceptual, and optical aspects of these components in printed impressions. Mutability and impermanence are conveyed through multiplied color blends, shifting marks, and color grids. The experience and actions of being a caregiver influence her work.
