RISD Exhibits! One of the best parts about making all this great art + design is showing it off. RISD’s galleries all over campus have their openings every Thursday night. The epicenter tends to be the Woods Gerry Gallery found in (you guessed it) the Woods Gerry Building at 62 Prospect Street. Every department has an opening here, pictured is the Illustration Department show being installed (my old major and my old work study job). As a student you too can get an on campus work study job with Mark Moscone (director of exhibitions) and Gunner Norquist (exhibitions coordinator). They will teach you the inns and outs of hanging, nailing, gluing, lighting, positioning, and strapping everything from 15 foot canvases to ceiling hung kinetic sculptures. Check out the gallery scene at RISD here! Check out the amazing Graduate Studies Exhibition (the time-lapsed video of the set up is mesmerizing).

Now for Exhibit B…what have openings have you been to?Let me know!
