Eight undergraduate and graduate students in the College of Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) are exhibiting work in the show “Common Language” through Saturday, Feb. 22, on the first-floor wall of the Dorothea Ilgen Shaffer Art Building.

The students showing work are from VPA’s Departments of Art and Transmedia and represent a variety of disciplines. They include Mike Fong G’15 and Holly Wilson ‘15, sculpture; Rebecca Aloisio G’14 and Paul Weiner ‘15, painting; Marsha Mack G’15, ceramics; Alex Sheeder ‘14, transmedia; Eli Show G’15, printmaking; and Jaroslava Prihodova G’16, jewelry and metalsmithing. The students were selected to show work in the exhibition by the faculty of their disciplines.

“Common Language” was exhibited in the fall 2013 semester at Leeds College of Art and York St John University in England. It is organized by Andrew Havenhand, assistant professor of painting in VPA and a Leeds College of Art alumnus. For more information, contact Havenhand at ahavenhand@yahoo.com.
