The “Bachelor of Fine Art Portfolio Exhibition” will be displayed through Dec. 6 at the Western Carolina University Fine Art Museum in Cullowhee. 

Featuring the works of WCU’s graduating seniors from the School of Art & Design, this exhibition highlights their comprehensive course of study at WCU’s School of Art & Design and serves as a preface to their forthcoming careers as professional artists.

The art portfolios — which include paintings, photography, ceramics, installation art and other mediums — explore a wide range of topics including isolation, community, the intersection of faith/life and the destruction of Hurricane Helene and Maria.

Featured artists are Dani Akre, Amber Bachmann, Katie Barnett, Naomi Michelle, Macie Bishop, Zoila Carrasco, Isaiah Davis, Nikayla Glover, Riley Highland, Samara McKnight, Valeria Ramos, Jessica Rial, Samantha Taube and Grace Turner.

The reception will be held from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14. This event will include a gallery talk by the artists along with complimentary hors d’oeuvres and drinks. Free parking is available.
