“Rejection in the Reflection” Exhibit
HANCOCK – “Rejection in the Reflection,” an exhibition of Finlandia University International School of Art & Design student work, will be featured at Finlandia’s student-run Reflection Gallery March 29 to April 8, 2008.
An opening reception will take place at the gallery Tuesday, April 8, at 4:30 p.m.
“Every year Finlandia University holds a juried student art exhibition, and every year there are many pieces that are not selected,” says art and design sophomore D.C. Wilson (Iron Mountain, Mich.), current Reflection Gallery director.
“I believe that every artist has the right to be displayed, so the gallery is pleased to host a show of all the rejected works from the juried show,” Wilson adds. “This is one of the first opportunities some students have to publicly display their work and offer it for sale.”
Wilson notes that all the student pieces will be priced to sell. She invites the community to take advantage of this great opportunity to purchase student work and support the Reflection Gallery.
The Reflection Gallery is student-run and located amidst the classrooms and studios at Finlandia’s Portage Campus. The gallery hosts exhibits of local and national professional artists, but also takes great pride in displaying the work of the students who support it.
Finlandia’s Portage Campus is located at 200 Michigan Street, Hancock. The Reflection Gallery is on the second level. For more information, please contact Finlandia University studio arts instructor Yueh-mei Cheng at 906-487-7375.
