Emerging Art Opens at Thorne

From Jackie Hooper, Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery:

Works by 14 graduating art majors will be showcased in Emerging Art, the annual Keene State College art students’ exhibition, presented by the KSC Art Department from Saturday, April 16, through Saturday, May 7, at the Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery.

Friends of the Thorne will host an opening reception for Emerging Art on Friday, April 15, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the gallery.

The Art Department will also sponsor a graphic design senior portfolio review from 3 to 7 p.m. in the Media Arts Center, adjacent to the Thorne, on that Friday. More than 35 graphic design seniors will open their portfolios and display their best design work.

In Emerging Art, bachelor of fine arts candidates, graduating seniors, and a selection of students majoring in art will exhibit their paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, and ceramic works. The pieces were selected by Art Department faculty from work students completed in all levels of art classes throughout the academic year.

Gallery visitors are invited to vote for their favorite artwork for the People’s Choice Commendation, which carries a $100 cash prize and is sponsored by the Friends of the Thorne. The winner will be announced on Monday, May 2.
