Studio art seniors put on quite a show.

Each spring, the Macalester seniors majoring in studio arts pull together their finest creations for an exhibit. For them, it’s the equivalent of a capstone project, and is tied to their Senior Seminar,also held in the spring.

There is no jury process at which artworks are chosen; the students work on and develop their projects all spring with feedback from their peers, adviser, and instructors, including, this year, senior seminar instructor Ruthann Godollei. With the help of gallery curator Greg Fitz and Godollei, the seniors negotiate their shared space, the show’s title, and other matters. This year’s exhibit, called Specs, opened April 27 and ran through Commencement on May 12.

This is the final year that the Senior Show—or any exhibit, for that matter—will be shown in the Art Gallery’s temporary home at 1665 Princeton Ave., just west of campus. In July the Art Gallery moves into its beautiful new home in the renovated Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center.
