Johnson Art Gallery to Host Sixth Annual Graphic Design Exhibit

Grand Junction, CO-The Mesa State College Art Department will present the sixth annual student graphic design exhibit, "Wow, Looky There!" from March 7-25 in the W.W. Campbell College Center's Johnson Art Gallery.

Organized by associate professors of art Suzie Garner and Carolyn Quinn-Hensley, this year's exhibit is an overview of junior and senior graphic design student work. It will include classroom assignments and printed material from student internships, as well as campus publications created by the students who work in the Campus Design Studio.

Each of the student works are unique and represent hours of hard work on and off the computer. The exhibit will feature illustrations, corporate identity projects, posters, magazine cover designs and more. With a variety of graphic design work on display, the exhibit presents a unique opportunity for prospective graphic design students to view what current Mesa State students are creating.

A public reception will be held on March 11 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Johnson Art Gallery. Students will be on hand to meet with community members and discuss their works.

The Johnson Art Gallery is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and admission is free. The Gallery will be closed March 14-18 for Spring Break. For more information, contact the Mesa State College Art Department at 970.248.1833.
