25 Years: Art + Design Alumni, 2000-2025

This exhibition showcases the breadth of creativity and talent that emanates from the Department of Art + Design at Eastern Illinois University. As a quarter-century survey, the exhibition welcomes back former students and families to reflect on and celebrate what it means to have "bled blue"—on canvas, in the round, or anything in between or beyond—while inviting current and prospective students and community members to see what is possible after graduation. (I received my Masters in painting from EIU in 2009.)

​

Opening Reception:  November 14

Tarble Arts Center, Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, IL

On view November 14, 2025–January 31, 2026

**I will not be present at the opening.
