Cabrini College will be having its first-ever student art exhibit that is open to all students.
Other art shows feature the work of students in art courses and in the graphic design and fine arts departments.
All current Cabrini students are encouraged to submit any type of original artwork or media. The deadline to submit is Monday, Oct. 20.
The exhibit will last from Thursday, Nov. 6 to Friday, Dec. 5. It will be held at the Gorevin Gallery, which is located on the second floor of the Holy Spirit library. At the opening reception on Nov. 6, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., free food and drinks will be served. Students, faculty, friends and family are all welcomed to view the exhibit. Beer and wine will also be served for those of age.
Studio art associate professor and Gorevin Gallery curator Nick Jacques is overseeing the entire event and submissions from students. “I wanted to have an exhibit that was open to all Cabrini students,” Jacques said. “I’d like to give everyone a chance to exhibit some of their work.”
Jacques urges any student, no matter what their major is, to submit.
Jacques had been thinking about having the exhibit for the past couple of years, but is now excited to see that it is finally happening.
This will be the very first one and hopefully the exhibit will continue either annually or semiannually.
Students that are interested should fill out an entry form and submit a high-quality electronic image of their work. These images can be put on a CD or zip drive and then submitted directly to Jacques at his office in Widener center room 203.
Students are allowed to submit up to three pieces.
Sophomore graphic design major, Krista Mosco, thinks that the art exhibit is a good thing for Cabrini students.
“It’s interesting. I would go and I would see it,” Mosco said. When asked about what she thinks about the exhibit, English and education major Darian Dalfonso said, “It’s cool. I would go to it since it’s just Cabrini students.”
The exhibit will be open for viewing Monday through Sunday during regular gallery hours.
