Character Development: Senior Studio Art Majors 2023

April 15 – May 20, 2023

Melvin Henderson-Rubio Gallery

Each spring, the Hallie Ford Museum of Art features the work of senior art studio majors at Willamette University. Characterized by a wide variety of styles and approaches, the exhibition includes work in a range of media, including sculpture, painting, installations and printmaking.

The exhibition, which represents the culmination of the student's four years at Willamette is paired with a small solo exhibition of recent work by one of the faculty members in the art department at Willamette University. The purpose of the exhibitions are to demonstrate the continuing connection and relationship between student and faculty research. 

This year’s senior studio art majors exhibition is paired with the faculty exhibition, Ranran Fan : 上天入地 Ends of the Earth, which focuses on recent works by Visiting Assistant Professor of Art Ranran Fan.
