USM Art Department

We regret that this Fall semester that we had to postpone the in person Open Studios yet again. We know that this is a disappointment, as the joy and camaraderie of sharing student work in person has been lacking since the start of the pandemic. But with resurging numbers, a new virus on the horizon, and limitations on gatherings indoors, this was the prudent approach to take. In any case there was a lot of great work produced this semester that we want to share.

In response, we are mounting our fourth Virtual Open Studios as a way to share the wonderful work created by our talented students. Congratulations to all of our hard-working Art Students! May viewing their work bring you inspiration!

We hope to host an expanded in person Open Studios in the spring that can include work from multiple semesters - Stay tuned!
