Reception 
1 p.m. | March 12, 2023

The Kenneth P. McCutchan Art Center/Palmina F. and Stephen S. Pace Galleries is excited to present A Decade of Opportunity: Celebrating 10 Years of the Efroymson Bridge Year Fellowship, featuring works from the first ten recipients.

The Efroymson Bridge Year Fellowship is a competitive award program that provides motivated and talented art and design graduates of USI’s Art and Design Department with the opportunity to develop a strong portfolio in preparation for graduate study, as well as the skills and resources needed to establish a career in the visual arts.  All our past Efroymson fellows are still active in their professional practice, creating excellent work.

Utilizing the university’s permanent collection, the show includes work from each participant’s original Efroymson Fellowship exhibition as well as recent works selected by each artist.  Participants include Jamie Gray Williams ’11,  Kristina (Fitzgerald) Arwood ’13,  Jennifer Niswonger-Morris ’14, Jenna Citrus Rueger ‘15, Matthew Perez ‘15, Justin Cecil ‘17, Livia Xandersmith ‘18, Megan Thorne ‘19, Hannah Evelyn Jones ‘20, and Olivia Supper ’20.

A reception for the exhibition will be held on Sunday, March 12 beginning at 1 p.m. 

This exhibition will be displayed in the galleries from February 13 through March 17. The MAC/PACE, located in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center, is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and open on Sundays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
