“The work in this exhibition is expressive of the art and design endeavors of our faculty that serve to enhance their abilities in their roles as educators,” said Karen Middleton, assistant professor, Fashion Design, and curator of New Views. “The exhibition presents a broader picture of the creative and artistic accomplishments of the faculty. Most importantly, our goal is to provide inspiration and motivation to our students.”
