Description:
An energetic group of seven young artists is at a formative point in their
careers. Each artist presented is developing an individual voice, and
as expected, the work is visceral and intuitive. All of the artists
have recently finished their Bachelor of Fine Arts and are either
enrolled in graduate school or working in their studios, and outside of
the academic environment.
As such, it is a challenging period for these young professionals.
The seven artists featured in Launchings are off to a strong career
start – each demonstrating the passion and talent required for
professional success in the visual arts. Launchings is a small exhibit
packed with big ideas, powerful images, and a “sneak peek” into the
future of visual arts in Kentuckiana.
