The works of 24 LSU School of Art faculty members are on display at the LSU Museum of Art in an exhibition titled Right Here, Now. The exhibition opened on November 8 and will run through February 16, 2014.

Right Here, Now is a wonderful opportunity to experience the quality of art produced by LSU School of Art educators. Many of the faculty-artists have won awards and have exhibited their work nationally and internationally.

“I think it’s important that all areas of the School of Art are featured. Visitors to the museum will be able to experience the breadth of work being made at LSU by faculty that normally show all over the world,” said Assistant Professor Derick Ostrenko. “Seeing it all in one spot shows people a sliver of what’s happening here and now.”

Right Here, Now features more than 85 works by LSU School of Art faculty, representing all of the studio areas taught and studied at the School of Art: photography, painting and drawing, printmaking, graphic design, foundations, sculpture, ceramics, and digital media. This is an excellent chance to see the art pieces of professionals who are helping pave the way for School of Art students.
