With all the courses, classes, and departments on offer at Mr. Jefferson’s University, at a tumultuous time in history, and an incoming class of 2,500 students enrolled in the College of Arts and Science — why did a small handful of folks pursue a degree in Studio Art as their major?

Folks came to celebrate and enjoy a pop-up art exhibit of works, past and present, from eight Studio Art alumni from the class of ’74.

The artists were there to discuss their art and experiences from their time at the University to the present.

Have a look and see for yourself, why, 50 years later — we’re still making art!
