The University Museum at Ä¢¹½tv is once again partnering with The Artists Hand Gallery to present the art exhibit “The University Museum Goes Downtown: Ä¢¹½tv Professors Past.” The show opens Friday, May 2, with a free public reception from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the gallery, located at , Indiana. Complimentary snacks and drinks will be served.
This special exhibition kicks off the Ä¢¹½tv@150 celebration with a look back at the university’s artistic roots. On display are works from the University Museum’s Permanent Collection, all created by former Ä¢¹½tv art professors—some going back to the very beginning of the Art Department.
Spanning eras of creative thought and teaching, the exhibit reflects the lasting influence of these educators and the important role they played in shaping Ä¢¹½tv’s art community. From bold experiments in form to powerful studies in technique, the artwork on view tells a story of passion, innovation, and mentorship that continues to inspire students and artists alike.
Vaughn Clay, Ä¢¹½tv art professor emeritus, will speak on “Remembrances of the Ä¢¹½tv Art Department 1965–2004” at 7:00 p.m. during the opening reception.
Join us at The Artists Hand Gallery to celebrate the legacy of Ä¢¹½tv’s art faculty and enjoy an evening of art, conversation, and community. The exhibit will be open during regular gallery hours through May 17:
- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
- Thursday, Friday, 9:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m.
