The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point's Carlsten Art Gallery is hosting 'Meet Your Mentors,' a summer exhibition featuring work from faculty members across the School of Design and Communication. The show runs through September 13, with an artist reception on September 4, and is free and open to the public. Faculty from programs including art, art history, graphic design, interior architecture, media studies, and professional communication are participating, offering students a glimpse into their instructors' artistic processes and professional practices.
This exhibition matters because it strengthens the connection between students and faculty by revealing the creative and professional expertise behind teaching. It also highlights the diverse talent within the university's School of Design and Communication and engages the broader Central Wisconsin community. The show underscores the Carlsten Art Gallery's role as a space for community-driven events and creative exploration, reinforcing the value of visual arts education at a regional public university.
