On March 30, the first Senior Art Exhibition opening reception will be held in the Coburn Art Gallery in the Center for the Arts building from 4:30- 6:30 p.m.

The first art exhibition will feature the work of Emily Didion, Anastasia Russo, and Emily Minns. Their artwork will be available for viewing from March 30 until April 14 at the Coburn Art Gallery.

The exhibition will display work from throughout the seniors’ time at AU as they have been perfecting their technique and work.

In order to prepare for the upcoming exhibition, the artists went into the gallery to scrape the walls free of leftover parts of command strips and to fix any other holes in the wall so that the walls would be smooth and clean.

During the Opening Reception, visitors will have the chance to meet the artists and professors. Guests are encouraged to talk to the artists and get an insight on the masterpieces they have created. Light refreshments will also be available for guests as they observe the artwork.

“I am excited to celebrate the end of my journey before I finally graduate,” Emily Didion said.

There will be another Senior Art Exhibition that will open up after Easter break from April 20 until May 6. This exhibition will feature the work of seniors Ahmed Bondagjy, Kailah Sanders, Isaac Waterman, Alicia Jones, Abigail Nye, and Dana Reed. The second Senior Art Exhibition will also have an opening reception where a variety of awards will be given out to the seniors.

The Coburn Art Gallery is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. The gallery is closed during university breaks and holidays.
