Flash Preview: Manifest 225 > 3rd Annual End-of-the-Year Arts Exhibition at Benedictine University

This is a very special impulsive post to transmit to some of the 230K+ viewers of this blog, the excitement over Manifest 225 -  the 3rd Annual End-of-the-Year Arts Exhibition at Benedictine University that expands Arts & Culture and community economic development.
It's tonight on 2nd Fridays here in Downtown Mesa: May 10 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
at 225 East Main Street 
I would like to express appreciation to the Visitors Desk at the South Entrance on Hibbert Street for the welcome hospitality and the courtesy of a guided walk-around tour of the Ground Floor and 2nd Floor Exhibition areas just about two hours ago.

Come see what BenU Mesa students are producing in their arts classes and what the school has to offer in terms of arts education at the university level. Guests will also get a chance to meet the artists, enjoy refreshments, and purchase artwork. 
“Each year I am amazed at the breadth and quality of our student work. It’s great to see the students enter the professional world by exhibiting and selling their original art,” says Fine Arts Professor, Michael Tole.

Works at the exhibit include some examples inserted here

painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, digital art, graphic design work, short videos, and a sharing of the university’s arts and literary magazine, Around the Ben,

published in December of 2018.

They are just a few examples selected from Manifest 225 that begin to show you some of the talent for BenU students who are entering the professional world.

 

This is the fifth iteration of the end of year exhibit, Manifest 225.  

 

In its sixth year of operation, BenU Mesa offers several art related degree programs:

BFA in Studio Art
BA degrees in Communication Arts and Graphic Design.
