Dominican University sculpture students exhibit at Riverside Arts Center

The Riverside Arts Center will present “Dominican in the Round,” an exhibit of recent work by sculpture students at Dominican University. The exhibit will be open from Friday, June 17 to Saturday, July 30 with a reception for the artists on Friday, June 17 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. The Riverside Arts Center Freeark Gallery is located at 32 East Quincy Street, Riverside.

This exhibit marks the three-year-old sculpture program’s first major off-campus exhibition. Jane Arvis, Dorothy Bugalski, Kate Brown, Carly Connelly, Theresa Farris, Joshua Johnson, Douglas McGillivray, Brenda Ocampo and Anthony Perri are among the exhibiting artists.  The exhibit is curated by Dominican sculpture professors Noelle Allen and John Harmon.

The works included span a variety of mediums. They embody a diverse range of haptic sensibilities, from concrete physicality to ephemeral delicacy. Ceramic, plaster, wood, metal, concrete, cloth, blood, paper, wax and tissue are among the materials incorporated into the different pieces. Attention to presentation also plays a vital role. Some pieces are intended to function in a variety of settings, while others are site-specific, including outdoor installation work in the sculpture garden.

The Riverside Arts Center is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. The reception and exhibit are free and open to the public. For more information please visit www.riversideartscenter.com or call (708) 442-6400.
