Share
The Marshall University School of Art & Design presents “Proof I Was Here: Selected Foundations Works,” an exhibition showcasing outstanding pieces by students who have recently completed the Foundations program and review process. The featured creations were selected by faculty and highlight some of the most compelling works created by students during this period.

The exhibition will be on view April 20 through May 1 in the Birke Art Gallery, located in the Visual Arts Center, 927 Third Ave. in downtown Huntington. A reception is planned for 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 22. Awards will be announced at 5:30 p.m.

The exhibit and reception are free and open to all.

“The Foundations program guides students through the initial years of material exploration, where they refine their technical skills and learn to develop artwork around self-defined concepts,” said Gallery Director Sophia Celdrán. “Through a curriculum that encompasses both two- and three-dimensional design, drawing, and theory, students participate in six hours of weekly studio practice augmented by mentorship and critical discussions. These foundational years are critical in teaching students to see, articulate and create with clarity and conviction.”

Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Admission to the gallery and all events are free and open to the public.
