The Bachelor of Arts students at University of Michigan Stamps School of Art organized a show. It is called RAW_A BA Show well done. Nine students have work included in the show. The work is located at 1115 South University Street in Ann Arbor.

The show opened on April 30 and ends on May 10. Can't wait to see the work this week.

Stamps School of Art & Design

I drove up to Ann Arbor last Friday to view Medium Rare exhibition on the campus of the University of Michigan. I viewed works of art by the Stamps School of Art Design graduation Bachelor of Fine Arts students. The exhibition was scattered in three different locations: Slusser Gallery, Works Gallery and Argus II building. I only made it to two locations: Slusser and Works Galleries.
Painting by Marco Lorenzetti

The student work I did view was fantastic! I loved several pieces. My favorite out of both galleries was a giant painting by Marco Lorenzetti. I loved the paint colors and the figures. It was so beautiful in person. 

 Other pieces I loved were by Nancy Huynh. The drawing was about her dog Beau. Such a sad story. The drawing was stunning. The graphic novel about a fairy tale by Lonny Marino was wonderful. The book of film photographs by Katelyn Wollet was stunning. I wanted to buy a book and the large three photos on the wall.

I'm glad I drove to Ann Arbor to view the BFA work. I worked as a photographer for 14 years at a local newspaper and rarely went to a gallery show. Now that I am no longer a professional photographer, I have taken the time to view so many gallery shows this year. Seeing what others have done, makes me want to draw and paint everything.

The Medium Rare exhibition ends May 2.
