Works displaying the artistic talents of WSU Vancouver faculty, staff, students and members of their families will be on display in the WSU Vancouver Engineering Life Sciences Building gallery beginning Wednesday, Feb. 22.
The free exhibit will be on display through March 31 and will feature paintings, drawings, textiles, photos and digital images. An opening reception will be held from 3 to 4 p.m. in the gallery and the community is invited to attend.
The work of artist and activist MB Condon will be on display March 7 through April 14 in the Student Services Building gallery. The show is titled “The Red Thread” and addresses militarism and its relationship to gender, particularly focusing on the evolving role of women in all aspects of military structures.
Condon works as a graphic designer, frequently collaborating with feminist collectives and public health organizations to design educational materials and publicity campaigns. Condon often ties her artwork with her activism and, in the past, has addressed the Washington state prison sitting process, Hanford Nuclear Reservation clean-up process and has advocated for rural access issues.
“I’ve found art can open up space for conversations that otherwise would probably not take place, and that all kinds of people are hungry for dialog about what is happening in our world,” she said. To view images of Condon’s past artwork, visit http://w3.gorge.net/mbcondon.
WSU Vancouver galleries are open weekdays, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday.
WSU Vancouver is located at 14204 N.E. Salmon Creek Ave., east of the 134th Street exit from either I-5 or I-205. Parking is available at parking meters or in the blue lot for $2.00.
