Student Art Exhibition at Harpur Edge
Harpur Edge is looking to collaborate with Harpur students to display a variety of student-produced art in our Library North office. Participating students will be able to expand their artistic reach as well as gain familiarity with installation processes. Overall, Harpur Edge is here to bring your art into the public sphere!
Open Gallery Night
Harpur Edge will host an Open Gallery Night, where student artists and attendees are welcome to view the exhibiting art, speak to the artists themselves, watch student films, and enjoy musical performances! All undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to submit work to be displayed during Gallery Night.
This year, Harpur Edge is collaborating with the Art Museum and the Q-Center as part of an open gallery walk. Participants will have the opportunity to visit each space to view their galleries - the Art Museum's exhibition features artist Michal Heiman. More information about the Art Museum's exhibit can be found here.
Open Gallery Night will be held from 6 pm – 8 pm on Thursday November 17th, at the Harpur Edge office located in Library North 1105.
