"As always, this opening exhibition is a point of pride for PSAD and provides incoming students and the larger public an overview of the variety and caliber of work produced by our faculty and their contributions to the region's creative community."
The exhibition will remain on display through September 4. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9 am to 4 pm; Saturdays 10 am to 4 pm.
