Senior Seminar Exhibition I and II open at New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art
 New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art proudly presents “USI Senior Seminar Exhibitions I and II,” the annual pair of art exhibitions featuring the best work from USI seniors in studio and graphic arts. Exhibition I runs February 16-26 and Exhibition II runs March 1-11. The reception for the artists in Exhibition I will be held on Saturday, February 16, from 4 to 6 p.m. and the reception for the artists in Exhibition II will be held Saturday, March 1, from 4 to 6 p.m. Both are free and open to the public. “USI Senior Seminar Exhibitions I and II” consists of four classes of graduating seniors from the University’s art department. These exhibitions promise to be lively and diverse mixes of artistic approaches and philosophies. Exhibition I will highlight studio art while Exhibition II will showcase graphic art. Each senior has contributed at least one piece of art in their area of concentration. All media will be represented. All works in these exhibitions were created by the senior seminar students while enrolled in the art program at USI. Senior graphic design major Shawn Riley won the annual poster competition to promote the seminar exhibitions. His design was selected by his fellow senior art majors. Riley, a Harrison High School graduate from Evansville, chose an image of the Mona Lisa incorporating the names of all the seniors in the studio and graphic art courses. The end result utilizes a famous painting that people recognize immediately formed with typography and graphic design.
