Through May 17: Senior Show

Kittredge Gallery

So you fancy yourself a young artist, with the potential to become one of the best. Someone who is on par with Picasso. Well, here's a word of advice from Tenacious D: quit your day job and focus on your craft. However, dedication can only take you so far. If you're lacking in the talent department, you have no choice but to quit your craft and get a job. That's the cosmic shame. Which is why we need to support the truly promising artists. And you can do that by catching the University of Puget Sound's 2014 "Senior Show" featuring the artwork of 10 seniors who are graduating with their bachelor's degrees in studio art. This group exhibition showcases a diverse range of subjects and media, and includes paintings, prints, mixed-media works, sculpture, and ceramics. The artworks on view offer a lively and engaging opportunity to see a variety of work by these emerging young talents. The show opens April 21. You can meet the young lads and lasses behind the exhibition during a public reception 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, April 23. If you don't catch the reception, that's fine. Their artwork will be on display until May 17.

"SENIOR SHOW," 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday, noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 21-May 17, Kittredge Gallery, University of Puget Sound, 1500 N. Warner, Tacoma, free admission, 253.879.3701
