The social event of the season for the local art community – opening night of the Faculty Art Exhibition on Jan. 27 – may have come and gone, but the show continues through March 4 at the Krannert Art Museum.

As always, the exhibition is a rich tapestry featuring the most recent works by faculty members in the UI’s School of Art and Design. Just about every possible medium is represented – painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, glass, metals digital and mixed media among them. Some of the works border on the traditional, while others break the borders. All are sure to provoke contemplation as well as conversation.
