Exhibition Dates: March 8 – March 22, 2018

Please join us on Thursday March 8, 2018 from 5:00pm to 7:00pm for the Opening Reception and Awards Ceremony at 6:00pm in the McMaster Gallery.

This year’s juror will be Clark Ellefson, principal designer and owner of Lewis+Clark. Ellefson received his Bachelor’s of Fine Arts degree from the University of South Carolina with emphasis in Sculpture, Ceramics and Film. Through his study of several diverse mediums, Ellefson’s fascination and skill with the functional as well as the artistic eventually converged into one-of-a-kind furniture design. Ellefson teamed up with furniture maker Jim Lewis, and from the partnership emerged a growing experimentation and creation of avant garde furniture. In 1980, the two established a furniture design studio, Lewis+Clark, and continued pursuits into modern furniture design while establishing commissions, clientele, and artistic identity within their art and the community.

The presentation of awards will include: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place undergraduate winners, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place graduate winners, and one Best of Show winner.
