The faculty exhibition features an array of works from art faculty and staff members in the form of ceramics, sculpture, photography, paintings and printmaking.

"We have a relatively small department, yet within the core group of individuals that interact with the students, we have artists that concentrate on traditional and non-traditional media and subjects from ceramic to digital, from cubist and realist influences to conceptual and social narratives," said Gallery Director Scott Snyder.

"The diverse makeup of the university's art department is reflected in this show, as the works being presented encompass the various conceptual ideas and artistic approaches that not only influence the artists themselves, but are contributing factors in their methods of teaching."
