Marshall University School of Art & Design will present two Capstone Exhibitions for Fall 2024 at the Charles W. & Norma C. Carroll Gallery in November. The exhibitions will display the final projects of senior students from the School of Art & Design.

The first exhibition, titled "Serve," is scheduled from November 11 to 14, with a reception on November 11 from 5 to 7 p.m. This exhibition will feature works by Sadie Allen, Jenna Billups, Josh Perry, and Makayla Welch. The second exhibition, "Essentia," will be held from November 18 to 21, with a reception on November 18 from 5 to 7 p.m. Artists Noah Chapman, Jonah Farmer, Sophie Kelley, Morgan Napier, and Alex Vance will showcase their work in this exhibition.

In addition to these exhibitions, the Birke Art Gallery will host "Stressed to Impress: Selected Foundations Works." This exhibition highlights exceptional work by students who have recently completed the Foundations program and review process. It has been juried by faculty members of the School of Art & Design and features notable pieces from this stage of student development.

"Stressed to Impress" will be open for viewing from November 18 through December 20. An awards reception is planned for November 20 from 5 to 7 p.m., with awards announced at 5:30 p.m.

Gallery Director Courtney Chapman emphasized that these exhibitions demonstrate the achievements of Marshall's art students as they progress through their education and prepare for future endeavors.

Mark Zanter, director of the School of Art & Design, stated: “The Foundations Review and Capstone Exhibitions showcase student creativity within the School of Art & Design. They give our community a glimpse into the diversity and depth of our students’ work and highlight the talent emerging from our classrooms and studios.” He invited everyone to celebrate these expressive pieces created by students.
