The MSSU Cragin Art Gallery is pleased to host the 2024 Senior Art Showcase! This showcase, “Interwoven Selves”, features the work of artists Bethany Vore, Clara Buck, and Joi Houston. The showcase will be held from December 2 – 6, 2024. The reception will be held on December 3rd from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM with refreshments provided. Each student will be exhibiting a body of work that coincides with the theme of Identity.
Bethany Vore, Education-Art (BSE)
This exhibition explores the theme of my identity in relation to my family and my spirituality. I was inspired by Victorian floriography, a system of symbolic communication through flowers. The exhibition includes paintings, and sculptures made of wood and crochet work.
Clara Buck, Fine Arts-Studio (BFA)
My exhibition is focusing on the struggles of women told using circus themes. I focus on things women experience on a day-to-day basis: dealing with body image, how it feels to perform constantly, loneliness, and more. Throughout my work I mostly focus on sculpture, but also tie in some paintings as well.
Joi Houston, Fine Arts-Studio (BFA)
This exhibit is an exploration into the black female identity and its relation to myself and my family. My works focus on showcasing the multifacetedness of being a black woman through paintings and sculptures.
Don’t miss this opportunity to see the works of our seniors!
Gallery hours are Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 5 PM
