In association with Downtown Provo Gallery Stroll, some of the UVU School of the Arts’ finest artists will be displaying their artwork in "Event Identity: Heck Yes Our Heads Are In The Clouds!" at the Utah County Health and Justice Building (151 S. University Ave. in Provo) commencing April 3 from 6-9 p.m.
"Before they graduate, these senior students have been given the problem of becoming visible - introducing themselves into the world," said UVU adjunct professor of art Alex Bigney. "Event Identity is all theirs as they become their own clients - planning, designing and carrying out every aspect of the exhibit."
Patrick Stauffer, who will graduate in art this spring, is looking forward to the event for not only what it could mean to him, but also the University.
"For me, it is actually a big deal. I am excited about putting up some of my art and letting people see what I have been doing for the last four or five years," he said. "I think it will draw people to UVU as well because people don’t know a lot about the art department here."
Stauffer, who is one of nearly two dozen UVU students participating in the event, will have three pieces of work on display - in graphite, acrylic and a mixed media piece. Each display will have something to do with the human figure.
"This is probably one of the more relevant and significant learning experiences that students can have or have had," said Steven Bule, chair of Department of Art & Visual Communication. "Last fall was the first attempt and it was a huge success, and the students learned a lot from it in what to do and what not to do."
The artwork, which ranges from photography, graphic design, illustration and fine art, will remain on display for the entire month of April.
