The Dittmar Memorial Gallery opened in 1972 to enhance the mission of Northwestern University by utilizing visual art as a vehicle for transmitting culture and knowledge. The gallery currently places emphasis on ethnic cultural art, art by emerging artists, and art by or about women, as well as artwork by Northwestern University undergraduate and graduate art students. The Northwestern University department of art theory and practice presents a series of week-long exhibitions by Master of Fine Arts thesis candidates. The work of these young artists shows their accomplishments in printmaking, painting and mixed media. The students include Molly Briggs, Danielle L. Gustafson-Sundell, Neilie Johnson, Mitchell Knapp, Bienardo M. Llaneta, Mark Murphy and Beth Reitmeyer, who will exhibit the products of their studies in the subtle areas of color, pattern and form in printmaking and painting.
