An opening reception for the artists will be held at noon Thursday in the gallery. Note that due to construction, only the West entrance of Ekstrom Library (on the 3rd Street side) is currently open.
For 2015, there are 28 artists from all corners of the university. Many of the artists are entering their work for the first time, while some have been part of the show every year since 2011. Woodworking, quilting, basketry, photography, painting, drawing and jewelry-making are all represented, along with a few surprises.
