“For the past several years, I've been making uncommissioned portraits on paper. Some of my subjects appear in costume. These images are meant to oscillate between the individual character of the sitter and his assumed persona.”

Special Projects will feature works by Harper art students who have demonstrated a commitment to art beyond the classroom. A small group of students experimenting with site-specific, large-scale, and other formats that require special spaces will be awarded Harper's exhibition space to present their ideas in a formal context. Faculty will support these students as they take on the challenge of developing and presenting their works with this particular venue in mind.



Last year’s participants: Alan Wiszus, Jeanie Janz, Ryan McVeitty and Faustino Brito.

 




All exhibits are free and open to the public.

Exhibition space hours: Monday–Friday, 8:30 am–4:30 pm
