(MURFREESBORO)—The Department of Art at MTSU will serve as host for the third of three spring 2009 art exhibits by seniors who are candidates for the department’s Bachelor of Fine Arts degree beginning April 27.

On display in the Art Gallery at Todd Hall through May 1, the show will showcase the student projects that utilize their skill in print, Web, motion, book arts and more.

The graphic design exhibit will open with a 6:30-8:30 p.m. April 27 reception in Room 224 of MTSU’s Todd Building, where visitors “can join in and be a member of the audience … enjoy with food and drinks and a close look at some of the finest work to ever come out of the MTSU graphic design program,” Snyder observed.
The show and reception are free and open to the public.
•GALLERY HOURS: The Art Gallery at Todd Hall is open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, closing only on university-recognized state holidays.
