Celebrating Dawson’s Permanent Art Collection
The Warren G. Flowers Gallery is celebrating the college’s permanent art collection through an upcoming exhibition that features artworks created by Dawson students between 1993 and 2026.
The Study Collection comprises outstanding examples of student work that have been gathered for pedagogical purposes. Some of these works are donated by Visual Arts graduates when they return to the college as guest speakers or to exhibit their current work.
In the vitrine facing the Upper Atrium cafeteria, selected prints by Indigenous students will be featured. Highlighting artistic ingenuity, these works are featured together to amplify their voices, to encourage truthful listening, and to celebrate their inspiring expressions of resilience.
Exhibition dates: Oct. 7 to Nov. 16. The opening hours are 11 AM-7 PM, Monday through Friday.
