Our first exhibition of the Fall 2026 semester is coming up in one week! “Pilgrimage of Light” is an exhibition by Texas-based artist and former Grand Canyon Artist in Residence, Mark Chen. His photographs unite the cosmos and Earth, aligning starlight with ancient landscapes to reveal the experience through projected celestial images. We will see you at the opening reception next Thursday Sept. 10 from 5:30 - 7pm, which will also feature an Artist Talk by Mark Chen.

Also be sure to visit on Friday Sept. 11, for a lecture talk by Mark Chen from 7 - 7:45pm, as part of the Worlds Revealed Speaker Series.

And please mark your calendar for Oct. 3 for a fun community event at the Beasley Gallery, also centered around this exhibition. Join us for “Constellation Creations”, where you can create your own constellation and explore the connections between the night sky and Earth’s ancient landscapes in this family-friendly activity!

⏰ 🎨 🍕 Junior and Rising Senior BFA Students! This is a reminder to attend Junior’s Night tomorrow, Tuesday April 7, 4:30-6pm in the Beasley Gallery.

This is an opportunity to introduce you to the Capstone process, so you’re better prepared for your Senior year. The sooner you begin thinking/planning your Capstone projects, the better. We want to help you improve the quality of your work and reduce stress. Also, your attendance is mandatory before you enroll in Capstone.

We’ll have food, presentations by faculty and students, and plenty of time to answer any questions. Mark your calendars and plan to attend!

BIG HEAD PARADE

In Thomas Pomarico’s 3D Design course, students construct a wearable “big head” using a cardboard armature, paper mâché, and painted surface. Each piece represents a mythological character.

Once completed, the class activates the work through a performative parade that moves through the library. This procession interrupts the routine atmosphere of the space, transforming it into a site of spectacle. The project introduces an element of festival and surrealism into an otherwise quiet, everyday environment, inviting viewers to momentarily step outside the ordinary.
