From illustration and web development to branding and package design, 13 fine art seniors at Mississippi State are showcasing a variety of skills in a new exhibition at the university’s Visual Arts Center Gallery.
On display April 17-21 at 808 University Drive, “Layered” celebrates the all-female graduating class’s completion of studio work in ϲʿѯ’s Department of Art.
In addition to physical displays, the students’ portfolio books and self-promotional pieces will be available for viewing on opening night. For a preview, visit layered2018.com and follow on Instagram @layered_2018.
“Each designer brings a new dimension and unique style just as each layer adds depth to a design,” said student exhibitor Jennifer K. “Jenn” McFadden of Huntsville, Alabama.
