Description

Alumni Invitational Art Exhibition: Ars Longa, Academia Brevis will be on view at the Hillstrom Museum of Art from Monday, November 22, 2010 through Friday, January 28, 2011. The Museum's regular hours are weekdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and weekends, 1 to 5 p.m., but check the Museum's website at www.gustavus.edu/finearts/hillstrom for hours of closure during the College's Thanksgiving and Holiday breaks, and for additional hours the weekend of Christmas in Christ Chapel.

 

Alumni Invitational Art Exhibition: Ars Longa, Academia Brevis features sixty-three recent artworks by past Gustavus studio art majors ranging from the class of 2009 back to the class of 1951, the earliest year students could graduate with the major. All of the nearly five hundred past studio art majors of Gustavus Adolphus College from those years who have contact information with the Office of Alumni Relations were invited to participate, and around half of the artists exhibiting are from the class of 1990 or earlier. Many of the participants have continued to be very active in art since leaving Gustavus. The exhibition's subtitle references the first lines of an aphorism by the Greek physician Hippocrates, best known in their Latin translation Ars longa, vita brevis, which suggests that art endures even though life"or in the exhibition's variant, the length of one's college career"is brief.
