Photo gallery Student artists share their work at Open Studio Day

November 7, 2022

From paintings to pottery to sculpture to photography, creativity was out in full force at the Nov. 5 Open Studio Day hosted by the UW Art Department. More than 50 artist studios were open to the public to stop in. Visitors could watch artists work, see their creations and talk with them about the meanings. The studios are on the 6th and 7th floors of the Humanities Building and in the Art Lofts Building.

Surrounded by his artwork, third-year printmaking graduate student Cullen Houser uses a pen to draw on a print in his studio space in the Humanities Building. "My work involves utilizing and experimenting with various mark-making methods. This process allows me to build up environments and atmosphere while incorporating scenes of detritus, recycled waste, and excessiveness, along with my own lexicon of imagery," he says on his website.
