Â鶹´«Ã½ Agricultural Campus is currently hosting its 8th annual Fine Arts & Craft Show, showcasing an array of talent from both the campus community and beyond. Despite challenges posed by COVID-related interruptions and space constraints due to the Cox fire, the event has returned, building on its inaugural exhibition in 2013.
Founded by alumna Crystal Fullerton, who submitted her own entry this year all the way from Alberta, the show has continued to evolve under the stewardship of Stephanie Peach, another dedicated alumna who took over as Curator in 2019.
This year’s exhibition features 27 artists displaying 79 pieces, encompassing a wide variety of mediums. Visitors can admire fiber art, photography, wood turnings, oils and acrylics, wool felting, watercolors, handcrafted glass beads, innovative mixed media pieces, quilting, polymer clay sculptures, rug hooking, beach glass art, and even taxidermy.
The diversity of art on display reflects the unique perspective of the Agricultural Campus community, with contributions from current and retired faculty and staff, as well as students and alumni. Some pieces are available for purchase, with contact information provided for interested buyers.
The exhibit, which highlights the connection between art and nature, will conclude on Friday, March 29 (Good Friday), with the Library open from noon to 5 p.m. on that day. Visitors are encouraged to explore the captivating creations on display and leave their thoughts in the guestbook.
