Senior exhibition reflects how lived experiences shape creativity
The graduating class of the University of Maine’s Department of Art will have their work on display in Lord Hall Gallery from Nov. 14 – Jan. 23.
Ranging from digital artwork and paintings to ceramic and glass sculpture, this year’s exhibition, titled “UpRouted,” emphasizes the uniqueness of each students’ journey. The artists explore themes of identity, transformation and growth, visualizing how lived experiences become embedded in creativity.
The exhibition is fully planned and carried out by the students, including creating the artwork; preparing, curating and installing the show; and doing the promotion, fundraising and event planning.
A reception celebrating the seniors’ artwork and accomplishments will be held Nov. 14 from 5-7 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
