LEWISTON — Beginning April 10 and running through May 30, Bates College Museum of Art will feature two new exhibits — one displaying the senior thesis work of Bates College students and one displaying prints and drawings by artist Greg Shattenberg. From 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. April 10, The museum will host an opening reception at the Olins Arts Center for both exhibitions.

Since its dedication in 1986, The Bates College Museum of Art has maintained a special relationship with the college’s Department of Art and Visual Culture. Part of this is a commitment to supporting the work of Bates students through our Annual Senior Thesis Exhibition. The exhibition highlights work selected from the thesis projects of graduating seniors majoring in Studio Art.

Thesis projects vary from student to student, each pursuing an individual interest. The emphasis of the program is on creating a cohesive body of related works through sustained studio practice and critical inquiry. The year-long process is overseen by Art and Visual Culture faculty, and culminates in this exhibition.
