On View: August 1 - September 15, 2024 
Closing Reception: September 12, 2024, 4:30 - 8:30 pm 

 

Showcasing the intriguing variety of FAU's art collection, the Ritter Art Gallery unveils some of its more unusual holdings in Rock, Paper, Chisel. This eclectic mix of contemporary fine art, including glass, fiber, ceramics, painting, sculptures and prints is typically kept in restricted storage due to its fragility. This curatorial endeavor is part of a broader conservation initiative to evaluate and digitize the university's collection, aiming to enhance public accessibility through online platforms.
