Student Events
Art communicates. What do our students want to express? What thoughts or emotions will their work evoke in you? Come find out at one of our many events.
The School of Art & Art History invites you to experience the talent, creativity and hard work of our students. Among a wide array of mediums, ranging from painting, drawing, and printmaking to ceramics, animation and digital modeling, photography, sculpture, and video, find something that resonates with you.
In addition to our student work exhibitions, we also host public lectures by nationally and internationally recognized artists, art historians, critics, and scholars. The Carolyn M. Wilson Gallery regularly hosts exhibitions featuring works by both students and visiting artists.
All events are free and open to students, faculty, staff, and the community.
The health and wellness of the USF community is always our first priority. In light
of the continuing concerns about COVID-19 (coronavirus), all university-sponsored
events on campus are postponed or cancelled. For the latest information, visit: .
