The
Gallery
(Click here for information on the most recent gallery
exhibits.)
Located near the Fireplace Lounge in the L/L Commons Building, The
Gallery offers students exposure to a variety of artistic media,
featuring local, national and international artists. Student exhibits
also take place during the second semester. Exhibits change about every
five weeks, and each exhibit features an opening reception with the
artist. We
encourage artists to present slide lectures or informal gallery talks.
Exhibits
have included: Holography, International AIDS Posters, Holocaust Art,
Video
Exhibits and Clay Installations, among others.
We are always searching for artists who are interested in exhibiting in this unique gallery. Contact Joan.Watson@uvm.edu for further information.
Living/Learning Center Programs
Each year student, faculty and staff leaders are responsible for
creating many Living/Learning Programs which focus on the arts. These
year-long programs allow students with similar interests to live
together and pursue their artistic ambitions. While programs vary from
year-to-year, you may
typically expect to choose from the following: Art of Photography,
Clay: Pottery, Sculpture and..., Cakes With a Cause, and Creative Expressions. Many other
Living/Learning programs incorporate the arts into their activities.
For further information about joining a Living/Learning program, or
designing a program of your own, please contact Windy Paz-Amor,
L/L Assistant Director, at
