Quincy University issued the following announcement on Apr. 19.
Quincy University’s Gray Gallery will host the annual Baccalaureate Exhibition, April 26 – May 15. The virtual exhibition presents a retrospective of each graduate’s growth and artistic development. Students exhibiting in the show select their best works from a variety of media with a focus on an area of particular interest.
Students presenting works include Riley Hayes, from St. Louis, Mo. majoring in graphic design with a minor in business; Beth Pendergraff, from Paloma, Ill. majoring in graphic design; Brendan Nelson, from Quincy Ill. majoring in graphic design; Melissa Hough, from Norman, Okla. majoring in graphic design; and Alexis Martin, from Warrenton, Mo. majoring in graphic design.
The baccalaureate show is the capstone of the senior experience through which an art major makes the transition from student to professional. Each candidate prepares a comprehensive portfolio of work, assessing strengths and areas for improvement. The students participate in a senior seminar that enables each to focus on particular facets of development as an artist. During the final semester, the students collaborate to plan a professional show, designing the display area, preparing publicity, developing the catalog and arranging a reception. Finally, each artist presents his or her portfolio to a panel of art professionals and professors for review and critique.
