Bannister Gallery opens the 2024-25 exhibition schedule with our Annual Faculty Exhibition, which offers an opportunity for the community to experience first-hand the artistic talent that is in residence at ΢��Ȧ. These faculty artists are integral to the current aesthetic and conceptual dialogues present in our studio art department. Their practices include research-based and interdisciplinary methods that are at the core of contemporary art. ΢��Ȧ’s faculty artists exhibit widely and receive prestigious awards, grants, fellowships, and residencies. As a result, they encourage students by their example to think across boundaries. Collectively, these distinguished, award-winning artists bring a unique vision to the region’s cultural tapestry.

Enrico “Henry” Pinardi (1934-2021) taught in the ΢��Ȧ Art Department from 1967 to 1995. He was a sculptor, painter, and inspiration to so many young artists that traveled through the Art Department over the years at ΢��Ȧ. His work is a visual poetry that creates an atmosphere so saturated that it has an extraordinary power to transport and transform the viewer. In his art, he used color, line, volume, and form as a conduit for the interstice between the known and the unknown. His work stemmed from his own life story and allowed us a peek into a beautifully deep soul. This exhibition, curated by Professor Dianne Reilly, celebrates his life and art.
