Faculty members display art through Jan. 5
Like their colleagues in other areas of the campus, professors in the School of Art and Design are multi-taskers who are well-schooled in the fine art of juggling teaching schedules with the production of their own scholarly or creative work. And since art and design faculty members typically exhibit their work in galleries and exhibitions outside of Champaign-Urbana, their students and other community members rarely get the opportunity to view that original art first-hand. Enter the annual Faculty Art Exhibition at Krannert Art Museum – where students can linger and learn by example, and others can come to marvel over the diverse talents represented by the art and design faculty. This year’s exhibition, which showcases some of the finest examples of the faculty’s most recent work – in just about every artistic media imaginable, from painting, sculpture and photography to glass, metals, jewelry, mixed media and installation – runs through Jan. 5.
