This year’s Arts and Humanities Graduate Exhibition, running June 6 – 24 at the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art, features student work from across the College of Letters and Science.

Twenty-five doctoral and graduate students from anthropology, comparative literature, creative writing, English, Spanish and Portuguese, design, art history and art studio will present their research exploring the pressing issues of our time, including environmental destruction, racism and immigration, while offering both practical and idealistic ways of thinking about and solving problems, or engaging with personal experiences, memory and aesthetic practices.  

At the opening reception, June 6 from 5:30 to 9 p.m., winners of the LeShelle & Gary May Art Purchase Prize, the Keister & Allen Art Purchase Prize, and the Savageau Award in the Department of Design will be announced.

On Friday, May 31, the art history M.A. candidates will present their graduating theses from 3-5 p.m. during the Art History Graduate Colloquium.
