Drop-in Poetry at University Galleries
Join us for drop-in poetry at University Galleries. Spend time writing poetry in response to artworks on view in the exhibitions Dreamscape (Curated by Teen Art Group) and 2:43 on a Tuesday and drawing at your own pace. Materials provided (including poetry templates).2:43 on a Tuesday presents 30 works from University Galleries’ permanent collection, each selected for its relationship to ideas about chronology. These paintings, photographs, lithographs, sculptures, and ceramics reflect on the ways time passes, how it is experienced, felt, measured, and sequenced. Artists include Barbara Crane, J. Brooks Dendy III, Frank Eckmair, Benjamin Gardner (M.F.A. 2005), Joan Gardner, Martin J. Garhart, Salvador Jiménez-Flores, Richard Mawdsley, Patrick McDonnell (M.S. 1990, M.F.A. 1993), Josefina Muñoz Torres, Patrick Nagatani, Robert Rauschenberg, and Neil Tetkowski (M.F.A. 1980).Dreamscape is a group exhibition of 17 paintings, prints, drawings, and sculptures selected from University Galleries’ permanent collection by Bloomington High School members of our Teen Art Group.
