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.

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.

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.
