2015-2016 Bing-Davis Memorial Gallery schedule

Each of the artists scheduled to exhibit artworks at Bing-Davis Memorial Gallery on the Upper Iowa University Fayette Campus in 2015-2016 have ties to the Midwest and will provide observers with both inspirational and evocative installations to contemplate.

“We have a very exciting gallery schedule for this upcoming year at Bing-Davis Memorial Gallery,” said Elissa Wenthe, UIU associate professor of art, while releasing the upcoming schedule.  “We will have works that are not only traditional in nature and capture the beauty of northeast Iowa, but will also cause visitors to closely ponder the submitted artworks. The participating artists will push the envelope when it comes to infusing their ideology, and relationships to contemporary design into their paintings and sculptures.”
