Grand Rising: On Feeling and Interbeing

November 14, 2022 - February 2023 

Wellness Center Gallery

​

Grand Rising: On Feeling and Interbeing addresses the impacts of trauma and honors the processes of coexistence and healing. People that have experienced trauma create ways to navigate and mend wounds every day. This exhibition holds space for empathy, care, and love as we discuss how we continue to show up for ourselves and each other.

 

Often used in place of the common greeting "good morning," Grand Rising celebrates the act of the body, mind, and spirit holistically rising after rest. Many cultures share a salutation with one another to commemorate surviving the night and embarking on the new day ahead, symbolizing a flow between stillness and triumph. With this exhibition, we declare Grand Rising to those that exist and evolve with their trauma through daily gestures, no matter how big or small.

The Third Dimension: Exploring Space

January 17 - February 7, 2019 ------ ArtLab Gallery

Curated by Patricia Fay and Mary Voytek

Sponsored by Gene and Lee Seidler

​

This exhibition showcased works from the Ceramics and Sculpture studios in the FGCU Arts Complex. Combining a variety of materials, techniques and concepts, art students working in the third dimension grapple with the physical and tactile properties of made objects while exploring the intangible relationship between form and space. Through figurative, abstract and functional projects, three-dimensional art offers an astonishing range of questions to ask and problems to solve.
