Classroom 102

Students who are not a part of the Art Department may not have heard of Classroom 102, but they have surely passed it while on the way to class.

Classroom 102 is the name of the student and faculty-run art gallery located on the first floor of Smith Hall. Every week the committee that runs the gallery sets up a new installation.

The committee, headed up by undergrads Eliana Reyes and Rachel Schechtman and graduate student Katherine Sifers, already has the installations for the rest of the semester planned out, including an upcoming faculty-run show that is currently accepting submissions.

If students are interested in having some of their own work featured in one of the shows, this will be a good opportunity. The theme is Systems, Architectures, Ecologies, and the pieces accepted will fall into one or more of those categories. While these categories are very vague, this is presumably to allow students as much room to be as creative as possible.

Professors Rigg and Bjelajac will be choosing the work for the show from all submissions dropped off February 25 and 26th in the Art Office, located in Smith room A101. All types of media will be accepted, and any student is welcome to submit a piece.

Those who are not artists themselves should stop by Classroom 102 to check out the art their fellow students are making.
