Upon walking into the opening of the Faculty Exhibition in Ingram Hallâs University Gallery Feb. 5, one of the first sights was âSushi/Sake for Two,â a piece by Spencer Ebbinga, associate professor of art and design.
Two pieces of real sushi topped dishes created by Ebbinga, who described his piece as romantic.
Other art joined Ebbingaâs from six other faculty artists: JP Avila, Craig Cornwall, Bea Geller, Steve Sobeck, Jessica Spring and Michael Stasinos.
The exhibition gives students the opportunity to see the work their professors do professionally.
âI think itâs huge [for students] to see that their professors are actually working. Producing artists is significant,â Ebbinga said.
Senior Katie Hoffman, an art student, agreed.
âItâs inspiring to see what they are doing,â Hoffman said. âItâs neat to see them as artists and not just professors.â
The exhibition also gives other faculty and staff members a chance to see what the art professors produce.
Peggy Vance, senior administrative assistant, said sheâs been looking forward to the exhibition all year.
âI love it,â Vance said. âIâm always in the office and donât get to see their work often. Itâs fascinating.â
The Faculty Exhibition runs until March 5 and is open Monday-Friday, from 8 a.m.-4 p.m.
