BOSS exhibit features outstanding student artwork

The Dorrance H. Hamilton Gallery has announced the opening of BOSS (Best of Salve Students) Show 2014, an annual survey of outstanding student artwork drawn from the full spectrum of visual art courses taught on campus.

The juried exhibition showcases creative achievement at all studio levels, from introductory to advanced, in a wide variety of media. This year’s show features photography, painting, drawing, ceramics, graphic design, illustration, sculpture and interactive digital design.

An awards ceremony and reception for the artists is scheduled for 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 11. The Department of Art will also hold a brief new student orientation during the evening’s events.

The juror for BOSS Show 2014 is Neal Walsh, a Providence painter and director of AS220’s art galleries. A nationally recognized nonprofit arts organization based in Providence, AS220 was founded in 1985 on the principle that freedom of expression is crucial for the development of strong communities and individual spirits.

BOSS Show 2014 runs through Wednesday, Sept. 17. The gallery is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays and noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
