The “Augustana Student Invitational” is currently showcased at the Eide/Dalrymple Gallery, Augustana University. The exhibition runs until September 5, with a closing reception from 7-9 p.m. on that day.
This event highlights student portfolios which are chosen by faculty during Spring 2025 critiques. It showcases a variety of art projects nurtured in Augustana’s art courses. Students preparing to graduate as art majors must present their work in front of faculty and peers, an essential part of their learning journey.
