This exhibition celebrates the work of the Thompson Rivers University Bachelor of Fine Arts 2020 graduating class. The COVID-19 global pandemic has disrupted many events, including how students participate in university classes, resulting in the shut down of many public and private spaces, including the University.
With the cancellation of the TRU BFA graduating exhibition traditionally held throughout the studios in the Visual Arts Department and in the Thompson Rivers University Gallery each spring, the Kamloops Art Gallery is honoured to present this exhibition at the KAG in support of the graduates and faculty.
Omnium Gatherum | A collection of miscellaneous thingsshowcases the final projects developed by a group of 13 students during their time in the visual arts program. The Cube, Open Gallery, and the Tricia Sellmer and Ken Lepin Studios have been transformed to present selections from bodies of work produced in the graduates’ 4th year of study, leading to the completion of their Bachelor of Fine Arts.
This gathering of works, as inferred in the exhibition title, addresses diverse subject matter and explores a range of mediums, including digital media, painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, and installation.
