Current Gallery Exhibit
URI Feinstein Providence Campus presents
The annual “STATE OF THE ARTS IN RHODE ISLAND” Exhibit
June 2-27 with a Gallery Night Reception on June 19 from 5pm – 9pm.
The exhibit features new works of art by URI, RIC and
CCRI
students, faculty, staff, alumni and retired faculty. Over
the years, this exhibit has included hundreds of works of art
in all media including ceramics, sculpture, photography, painting,
drawing, printmaking, collage, assemblage, multimedia, fabric
art along with costume and scenic design. Among the works
exhibited have been projects involving whole classes of students
at each of the three state schools of higher education. This
exhibit also places the work of students along side of their mentor
teachers’ work, as well as alumni art beside their mentors
teacher’s work, often now retired but still creating new
and exciting art. It is enlightening to see the impact of
faculty on their student and sometimes the reverse. It is
an indication of the paths taken by graduating students and their
success in the field. This also highlights the vital place of
the arts in the curriculum, the contributions made by the
arts to
successful
interdisciplinary education, the direct connections with other
fields of study and the impact of the arts on our society as a
whole. The event is also a grand reunion for many students,
faculty and alumni. It explores the new and exciting work being
done and also hidden talents of faculty and staff whose major
area is not visual art.
This year promises to be an exceptional one as we are currently hearing
from people spread across the globe. The mixed media exhibit features
the work of Scott Allinson, Nichole Dingee Allinson, Ben Anderson,
