Six of the fourteen artists will visit FAU to create new installations of their work and one will do a performance at the exhibition’s reception on February 8, 2008. The exhibition presents several emerging artists along with other artists whose work has not received significant national exposure. Over 300 artists were considered for the exhibition which was selected by University Galleries Director W. Rod Faulds. The exhibition will be accompanied by an illustrated catalogue.
