Ten UW-La Crosse art students will celebrate the culmination of their undergraduate creative efforts in an upcoming exhibit.
“Wanted: Artists of Conviction” is the title of this year’s fall senior exhibition in the University Art Gallery on the first floor of the Center for the Arts. The exhibit opens with a reception from
4-6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 22, and runs through
Wednesday, Dec. 11. The gallery will be closed over the Thanksgiving holiday, Nov. 28-Dec. 1.
“Wanted: Artists of Conviction” signifies the closing of a chapter in the students’ lives and displays skills they have acquired during that time. As artists ready to enter the professional world after graduation in December, the exhibit also points to new beginnings beyond college.
