Changes With Exposure: 2024 Studio Arts Student Exhibition

University Art Gallery, University of Pittsburgh

April 4 - 27, 2024

The faculty and staff of the Department of Studio Arts are pleased to present the creative work of the 2024 Studio Arts graduates, as well as exceptional works selected by faculty from students in department courses.

This exhibition is a culminating event for our graduates, most of whom enrolled in the university in the fall of 2020. Considering the challenges of their arrival, the students acknowledge their ongoing contact with impactful ideas and methods, individuals and communities, and time and circumstance throughout their years on campus. Changes With Exposure emerges from the artists’ navigations of these many influences, their adaptations, and shifting perspectives that cultivated these compelling creative works as well as this flourishing community of artists.

The Department of Studio Arts offers best wishes in celebrating our graduates in their many creative practices and cross-disciplinary achievements. We are so proud for you!

This exhibition is produced by the Studio Arts Senior Exhibition course with generous and critical support from department faculty. Presented by the University Art Gallery, the department extends appreciation to Sylvia Rhor Samaniego, Vuk Vukovic, and Carlos Rivera-Morales. Hannah Powell, Amanda Raczkowski, and Evan Zajdel have offered tremendous administrative support - thank you! Appreciation to Max Glider, Kyle Fitch, and Marshall Suski of the University Center for Teaching and Learning for the creation of the exhibition’s virtual tour.
