Did you know that our very own Columbus College of Art & Design is 140 years old? To mark this special occasion, CCAD is relaunching its traditional Faculty Triennial Exhibition.
From Aug. 1 to Sept. 6, fifteen of CCAD’s talented faculty members will be exhibiting their magnum opuses at Beeler Gallery. Come admire these artists and designers’ paintings, sculptures, installations to film, ceramics and poetry for free.
Lucy I. Zimmerman, assistant curator of exhibitions at the Wexner Center for the Arts, will serve as both curator and juror for the exhibition.
“Out of nearly 50 applications, I have tried to capture work across a broad range of media and disciplines while remaining uncompromising in my commitment to show the strongest work,” says Zimmerman in a press release. “The tone of the work included ranges from critical and conceptually rigorous, to celebratory, demure, hopeful, playful (and) even funny.”
Thematically variegated, works on display seek to capture politics, technology, motherhood and the central Ohio community.
Credits to Provost Dona Lantz, CCAD’s faculty members, and Beeler Gallery staff, including Fine Arts & Contemporary Crafts Chair Tim Rietenbach and Registrar Marla Roddy for reviving this tradition that happened once every three years.
“Our faculty are incredibly talented artists and designers,” Lantz says in a press release. “They often showcase their work around Columbus and across the country, but we want to showcase their work on campus, too.”
“This show is an opportunity to celebrate our faculty and demonstrate their successes, not only as educators but as professionals in a variety of creative fields,” says CCAD President Melanie Corn in a press release.
