Last week, Josh Azzarella, Tiffany Calvert and Ronna Lebo came to Starkville.

As visiting artists, they delivered artist talks, met with students, had dinner with MSU Art Department faculty, and hosted a gallery talk and reception.

They were tremendously generous with their time;

it was great having them here.

I did not have a chance to document Tiffany and Josh in the classroom,

but I did capture Ronna as she led a Design class

on shape and building abstract compositions:

At the reception, Brittany became very attached to her clicker,

as she constituted one-woman crowd control:

It was especially great to see students engage the work:

Many thanks to these artists for their commitment to art

in the studio and in the teaching community!

Selected works from the exhibition catalog:
