Artists Among Us exhibition now on display in the USI MAC/Pace Galleries

The Kenneth P. McCutchan Art Center/Palmina F. and Stephen S. Pace Galleries at the University of Southern Indiana is proud to present its summer exhibition, Artists Among Us, now open to the public. The exhibition is on display now through Friday, August 29. 

This unique exhibition invites viewers to explore the creative talents of USI’s faculty, administrators and staff members who do not teach art courses. In an open call to showcase hidden talents, Artists Among Us highlights the artistic pursuits of those whose day-to-day work lies outside the traditional boundaries of the Art and Design Department. 

Featuring work by 27 creative makers from across campus, the exhibition includes contributions from David Angel, Ella Avolio-Alschbach, John Baburnich, Shari Baird, Terri Bischoff, Daniel Craig, Del Doughty, Jaclyn Dumond, Trent Engbers, Spence Farmer, Adam Funkhouser, Barbara Goodwin, Kerry Hall, Sharri Herriott, Kristin LaFollette, Trista Lutgring, Meghana Makoday, Julie Minnette, John Morris, Laura Norrington, Jenna Pajdo, Erin Parchman, Susan Todd, Wendy Turner, Beth Weigand, McManus Woodend and Carrie Wright. 

“Although I don’t teach art courses, I appreciate having a space where my work—and the work of others in roles across the University—can be represented,” said Shari Baird, Content Marketing Specialist for the College of Liberal Arts. “It’s inspiring to see just how many of my colleagues are creative individuals and to witness the diverse talents they pursue outside of their professional responsibilities.” 

A reception and awards ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, August 22 in the MAC/Pace Galleries. Participating artists, along with their friends, families and members of the public, are warmly invited to attend. 

The Kenneth P. McCutchan Art Center and the Palmina F. and Stephen S. Pace Galleries are located in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center. Summer gallery hours are noon to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
