“Drawn In,” the season’s opening exhibit at the University Art Gallery at Cal Poly, will feature a diverse collection of works by seven artists. The show will run from Friday, Sept. 30 through Saturday, Oct. 29.
A panel discussion about art and drawing is set for Friday, Sept. 30 from 5 to 6 p.m. in Room 227 in the Dexter Building (Building 34). An opening reception at the University Art Gallery will immediately follow the lecture.
In the last decade, drawing has moved well beyond the preparatory sketch, according to Jeff Van Kleeck, gallery coordinator for the Department of Art and Design. “Contemporary drawing encompasses not only pencil-on-paper but also mixed media, conceptual drawings and installations. ‘Drawn In’ will feature a variety of styles in contemporary drawing – not as part of the creative process to inform other work – but as the final expression.”
The exhibition presents works by Joe Biel, Benjamin Britton, Alison Byrnes, Sarah Lowing, Ephraim Puusemp, Natalie Settles and Jay Stuckey.
The University Art Gallery is in the Dexter Building, Room 171. The exhibit is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Admission is free. For more information, visit www.artgallery.calpoly.edu.
