MC students present senior art show

April 20, 2021

Thirteen Maryville College seniors will participate in MC’s spring senior art show. Due to COVID-19 guidelines, the senior art show is only open to the Maryville College campus community and invited guests.

“The senior exhibit features works the students have prepared as part of their Senior Study requirement,” said Dr. Carl Gombert, MC professor of art. “The senior project is an independent study that encourages students to create a meaningful body of work devoted to a particular subject or theme. The senior project spans two semesters and involves six credit hours of work.”
