University graduate students will present their artwork at the annual Master’s of Fine Arts group exhibition Friday at Oveissi & Co. in downtown Eugene.
This year’s exhibition, “MFA/02,” will run in coordination with First Friday ArtWalk in downtown Eugene, which is designed to attract attention to Eugene’s art and gallery community. Oveissi & Co. is located at 22 W. Seventh Ave. and will be one of the stops of the ArtWalk.
“MFA/02” is organized by the University of Oregon Museum of Art and the art department and will run in Eugene through June 22. Organizers will then move the show to the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland and stay through Aug. 17.
This year’s show is being displayed off-campus because the University’s art museum is still closed for a $12 million expansion project. The art museum is scheduled to open in fall 2003.
The exhibit will include:
* Art/ceramics by Michael Boonstra and Carrie Shields
* Fibers by Annette Hepner and Robin Seloover
* Metalsmithing and jewelry by Maru Almeida and Nick Dong
* Painting by Kevin Bell, Michael Gambill, Mika Holtzinger and James Schauer
* Photography by Shelley Foster, Tera Gambill and Samantha Stengel-Goetz
* Sculpture by Mitch Mitchell
* Visual Design by Dale Gronso and Naomi Kasumi
