Undergraduate Art Show!

We had lots of students bring their drawings, paintings, and photos into the gallery for submission to this year's Undergraduate Student Art Show.

Thank You to all of the undergraduate students that brought their work to the Lillian Davis Hogan Gallery Monday and Tuesday.

Each student could have submitted up to three (3) works, any media. Artwork must have been completed as a college student (in or out of class).

Opening reception for the exhibit is Thursday, November 21st, 4:30 - 6pm.

Prizes for First, Second, and Third place winners will be announced at the opening.

Hope to see you there!

MOSAIC, SMU’s Literary & Arts Journal, needs a cover design!

If you have any visual art pieces that would make a striking cover, please send them to mosaic@smumn.edu with “Cover Design” as the subject. All cover designs submitted should relate in some way to MOSAIC, the title of journal. If you would like to see examples of past winners, older copies of MOSAIC are available for perusal in the English Dept Office, St. Mary's Room 231

Dog Days in Design class

The day after Halloween is always a hard day in class. Too much sugar. Out late walking the dark streets at night. Trying to get mascara off hard to reach places.

Solution: Easton the Dog.

Easton paid a visit to Rob McColl's morning Foundations I class to inspire, encourage, and generally slobber on the students.

Good dog. Sit. Cut. Paste.
