Power to the Press Exhibition

Exhibition:
Thursday, November 20–Friday, January 23
Gallery Exhibition

This exhibition was inspired by the Fall of Freedom, an artist-initiated protest happening throughout the United States on November 21–22, 2025. Art and culture help shape our understanding of the world around us, and the arts community has chosen to respond to threats against free expression across the country through acts of creative resistance: exhibitions, performances, and public events that channel the urgency of this moment.

How Light Transforms (Joiners)

Media 1 Exhibition
Exhibition:
Monday, September 29–Wednesday, October 8
Morrison Entry

Utilizing the Grey or Black studios with a different lighting setup for each image, students made Joiner portraits of a person, object, or “thing itself”.

They considered the frame – What part of the subject are the focus on in each frame of the photograph? How will they come together?

They considered time – How will the passage of time be shown in the overall image, how can the final assembly / composition enhance elements to the foreground of the composition?
