Online exhibitions available from the Scholars at Silver Eye
As a Scholar @ Silver Eye, undergraduate seniors have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a year long work study program to learn the ins and outs of curation and gallery management. During this time they are exposed to the diverse talents within the Silver Eye Community through artist talks, studio visits, and working hands on with the Lab @ Silver Eye, programming, and exhibitions. We are delighted to share four interviews conducted by the 2022-23 Scholars @ Silver Eye,
Jen Collins, Noelle Derksen, Katelyn Nee, and Dominique Swift.
