Sincerely, 2012, a show by students in the Visual and Public Art Department, is on display in the Balfour/Brutzman Gallery on campus.

The show explores apocalyptic beliefs that have proven remarkably resilient over time.

The year 2012 is considered a pivotal date in human history. The media suggests that our way of life may be ending, the result of global warming, financial ruin and spreading plagues.

The exhibit was organized by a committee that invited students to submit works in any medium.

The works represent the artists’ exploration of apocalyptic beliefs and the end of time – system failure, faith, expectations, and psychological or emotional needs.

The gallery is located in the Visual and Public Art-East building. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The show will remain on display through April 20.

Featured artists include Xavier Bellante, Dillion West Costello, Stephanie Edwards, Bryan Lenorud, Laura Jane Oneto, Victor Rivas, Kelly Thomas, Anita Velasco and Stephanie Sumler.

Driving directions and a campus map are available here.
