The Preston Art Center, in Henderson Kentucky, will host the group exhibition Closing Shift: USI Capstone Artists from Monday, November 17 through Friday, December 12, 2025. This exhibition features the creative work of six artists majoring in studio art, graphic design, interactive media or illustration at the University of Southern Indiana.
The Senior Seminar courses in art and design at USI are capstone courses for art and art education majors, combining discussion of contemporary issues in the visual arts with practical knowledge in career or graduate school preparation as well as evaluating these students’ artistic growth and potential. This group exhibit is the fulcrum activity in these seminar courses and functions as a peak experience for the art majors at USI.
Associate Professor Brett Anderson organized and curated this year’s exhibition. Artists participating in the show include Clementine “The Rock” Blair, Iain “The Mouth” Girten, Nancy “The Muscle” Grant, Caleb “Mr. Punctual” Johnson, Jean “All Smiles” Raines and Gwendolyn “Baba Yaga” Stuckey. These artists represent a breadth of concentrations offered by Art & Design at the University of Southern Indiana, including studio art, photography, illustration, graphic design, interactive media and art education. All six artists will be graduating with ART degrees from the University of Southern Indiana in December.
A reception for the exhibition will be held at the Preston Art Center on Friday, December 5, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. All six artists will be in attendance and ready for feedback from the public during the event.
The Preston Art Center is located on the campus of Henderson Community College campus, at 2660 South Green St. Henderson, KY 42420. The Art Center is open weekly, Monday through Friday, from 8a.m. to 5p.m.
