Artists Among Us
Exhibition | June 30 - August 29, 2025
Reception | 2 p.m., August 22, 2025
The Kenneth P. McCutchan Art Center/Palmina F. and Stephen S. Pace Galleries is pleased to present Artists Among Us as its summer exhibition. This show has been conceived as an “open call” exhibition for staff, administrators, and faculty on campus not teaching art courses at the university to display and share their works with the public in the formal setting of our galleries.
The exhibition includes twenty-seven creative makers who work as administrators, faculty, and staff across USI, and for most of whom art making has very little to do with their day-to-day activities on campus.
A reception for the exhibition will be held on Friday, August 22 beginning at 2 p.m. This includes an awards ceremony being held in the gallery starting at 2 p.m. Participating artists and their friends and family are encouraged to attend.
This exhibition will be displayed in the galleries from June 30 through August 29. The MAC/PACE, located in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center, is open during the summer recess Monday through Friday from noon to 4 p.m.
