Twelve faculty members are participating in this biennial exhibition, which this year includes source objects and materials chosen by each artist to provide the viewer with a deeper understanding of what inspires and influences artists in the process of creating their work. A wide range of art and design will be on view, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, graphic design, interior architecture and drawing. In addition to these traditional categories, examples of work by art historians will also be on view, expanding the context of the exhibition to include the role of art interpretation. Drake's art faculty are all practicing artists, designers and art historians, who are professionally active locally, regionally and nationally. Gallery hours are noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.
All exhibitions are free and open to the public.
