The exhibit, focusing on artwork that highlights place, history, and memory, is juried by this year's EMU McCandless Distinguished Professor Chair, Dr. Joey Quiñones, head of Fiber at Cranbrook Academy. More about Dr. Quiñones's yearlong Marking Place project can be found at this link.

Public reception Thursday January 9 from 4:30pm to 7pm

Studio Concepts / Historical Perspectives @ Ford Gallery Studio Concepts / Historical Perspectives is a juried exhibition put together by EMU Art History Professor Dr. Pamela Stewart's Historical Perspectives Art History Course from the Fall 2024 semester. With guidance from Dr. Stewart, students chose themes for an open call to artists in the community. Students curated the final works that will be in the show, then spent the semester writing historical comparisons and didactic material for each artwork in the exhibit. The final exhibition, shown in Ford Gallery throughout January 2025, is the culmination of this work.
