Augusta University Department of Art and Design

Congratulations to our Art and Design students for an incredible year!

Swing by the ceramics and sculpture lab today!

CRSC Ceramics & Sculpture Gallery presents Formal Concern, a two-person exhibition by Ana Thompson and Nancy Hoehn—now current AU painting students. Thompson is the former head of the Dental Hygiene Program at Augusta University, and Hoehn worked as an obstetrics nurse for over twenty years.

Exploring abstraction and figuration through distinct yet complementary approaches, the show is on view through April 25.

Closing reception: Friday, April 24 | 5–7 PM.

A big congratulations to Daphne Maysonet, MA and Clarissa Gainey, MFA on being nominated for Excellence in Community Engagement this year!

They were recognized today at the Pancakes & Partnerships Breakfast and Awards Ceremony, hosted by the Department of Community Engagement—a well-deserved acknowledgment of their commitment and impact.

Join us for Rooted 250, a one-night community arts experience celebrating roots, heritage, and the stories that shape the places we call home.

In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, the evening brings together a curated exhibition of artists from across the Southeast and Canada, alongside live performances on the Maxwell Theatre stage — including a featured guest performance by internationally acclaimed trombonist Wycliffe Gordon.

Rooted 250 is curated by Augusta University graphic design professor Clarissa Gainey and created in collaboration with art and design students.
