Elmhurst senior art students display their work

Senior art students at Elmhurst College will showcase their work in the 48th annual Spring Capstone Art Exhibition opening Saturday, May 7.

The high point for every graduating art major, the Capstone Exhibition requires students to create a body of work in their area of concentration, then plan the exhibition and design all of the promotional materials for it.

This year's exhibit will explore a number of compelling themes, ranging from photographs that look beneath negative stigmas of women to "behind the scenes" portraits from "The Wizard of Oz."

Running through May 28, the exhibition is displayed in the Founders Lounge of the Frick Center and the Barbara A. Kieft Accelerator ArtSpace on campus, 190 Prospect Ave., Elmhurst.

The Frick Center is open daily; the Accelerator ArtSpace is open from noon to 4 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

This year's exhibition features the work of nine art students working in a variety of media, including ceramics, multimedia, oil painting, photography, silk screening and graphic design.
