The 11th Annual Faculty Art Exhibition will have its opening reception on Nov. 14 from 5 to 7 p.m. in Gallery 217. The exhibition will include paintings, sculptures, drawings and videos from professors in the Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts.
“The inspiration for the art that is usually generated and that appears from one year to the next is always different. And so, it’s sort of like thinking about what’s on the artist’s mind that’s inspiring their artwork,” said Mario D’Agostino, interim Art + Design program director for DCMA.
Many of the faculty pull inspiration for their pieces from their own experiences and different backgrounds. They focus on different elements of art, like ceramics, studio art, and graphic design.
Faculty like Kolos Schumy, assistant professor of graphic design, aim to submit pieces every year that catch people’s eyes for the exhibition.
“Professor Kolos Schumy teaches a virtual reality, an extended reality course. So a lot of his work is really wild to view and to see because there’s always a lot of multimedia that has to come with it to be able to set up the virtual reality stuff that he does that the general public are really interested in,” D’Agostino said.
The exhibition is seen as a giant puzzle because of the way the pieces fit together and all of their elements.
L’Nique Noel is the Gallery 217 manager and exhibition curator.
“It is my first time curating the show, which is really exciting and special for me. This event helps spread the word about NSU’s art program and the incredible work our professors are doing,” Noel said.
The exhibition is free to the community and will remain open for people to attend until Jan. 31.
