Get some culture: student art show

Thursday, April 29, 2010

Funny how one word can inspire so much. For the second annual Juried Art Show at the Spencer Museum of Art, art and design students selected one of four keywords to draw inspiration from: illusion, disillusion, impression and reality. Thirty students’ work was selected from more than 150 submissions by the Student Advisory Board and Kate Meyer, curatorial assistant, and Susan Earle, curator of European and American art.

Even though four words inspired all of the pieces, there is an abundance of diversity, says Chase Bray, Kansas City, Kan., senior and president of the Student Advisory Board at the Spencer Museum of Art. He says works range from all different types of media, including paintings, sculptures, jewelry and glass pieces. A design student also constructed a large-scale chair that will be on display. Bray says having a piece shown in a museum like the Spencer is a huge opportunity to leverage students’ work.

The second-annual Juried Art Show and Spring Student Night open at 5:30 p.m. tonight at the Spencer Museum of Art.

There will be free T-shirts, local food, and DJs. A group of students from a community arts class will perform art that engages the community.

If you’re interested in getting more culture, check out the Arts and Culture Festival at 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 1 in front of the Spencer. The Student Advisory Board invited artists and cultural groups from the KU and Lawrence communities to come together. There will be a stage for dancing, booths with information and art for sale.
