The Dittmar Memorial Gallery opened in 1972 to enhance the mission of Northwestern University by utilizing visual art as a vehicle for transmitting culture. 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. In this exhibition, the work of 10 first and second year Master of Fine Arts candidates will be on display. These young artists are close to embarking on a great adventure in the profession of painting. The collection of 25 to 30 works show the degree of excellence achieved during their tenure at Northwestern University.
