Silver Center for the Arts

Opening reception: October 7, 4–6 p.m.

Panel discussion: Weaving, Industry, Art, and Design, November 2, 4–5 p.m.  D&M building Room 314

This exhibition will explore aspects of textile history, function, and design. Making textile is a basic human activity that spans virtually every culture and civilization, yet it is also among the most elaborate of artistic undertakings. Rich with symbolic and functional history, the textile industry was the first industry to be fully mechanized in Western Europe and helped usher in the Industrial Revolution. Strong economic pressure and market demand have remained integral to the process of constant upgrade in technologies for design and production of textiles.

The exhibition features an array of works by  textile designer Amin Kalaf.

Opening reception: November 4, 4–6 p.m.
Panel discussions:
The Path of an Artist, November 10, noon
Artistic Philosophy, November 18, noon

An important connection between faculty and students occurs when faculty exhibit their own work. This special exhibition presents an opportunity for students and members of the PSU community to become better acquainted with art department faculty outside the classroom, as artists working in a variety of media. Whether they are presenting works from early in their careers, current pieces, or experimental work, faculty welcome viewers into the private realm of the teacher as artist.

This exhibition celebrates the centennial of the Weeks Act, which was signed into law in 1911 and authorized the federal government to purchase and maintain land as national forests. New Hampshire lands were among the first protected by the Weeks Act, which was named for Massachusetts Congressman John W. Weeks, a native of Lancaster, NH.

The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree is a four-year program of study in studio art or graphic design for students interested in a career as professional designers or artists or furthering their education through graduate study. During their senior year, BFA candidates develop a body of work through which they explore a range of themes, styles, and techniques. A committee comprising art faculty guides each student’s artistic progress and assists with the selection of a group of works to be featured in the annual BFA Exhibition.
