Now Showing in Sandpoint Gallery

Interdisciplinary Visual Arts 2008 Spring Senior Project Exhibition: Synthesis

Opening Reception
6pm-9pm, June 13th, 2008

Show hours
June 11th – 14th 2008
Gallery Hours: Wed-Sat noon-4pm

The University of Washington Interdisciplinary Visual Arts (IVA) program is proud to announce the opening of the 2008 Senior Exhibition: Synthesis, the culmination of four years of study executed in a capstone project during spring quarter.

The exhibit will be on display at the School of Art Sandpoint Gallery, in Magnuson Park in Seattle, from June 11th through 14th. The exhibition reception will be at the gallery on Friday, June 13th, 6-9 pm.

For a showing this grand and diverse, thirty-six students have decided to collaborate under the leadership of Timea Tihanyi and Anne Stevens. 

Participating artists come from diverse and wide-ranging backgrounds and experiences in the visual arts. The artworks on display range in media, from wearable art to video installation, using techniques of oil painting, photography, printmaking, and sculptural fabrication in new and fresh ways; there's big, there's small; traditional and unconventional. By no means is any piece constrained to a single medium. Because of the inherent diversity in the Interdisciplinary Visual Arts major this show is proud of its all-embracing approach.
