Clinton Resident Presents Capstone at Senior Art Exhibition

2016 Mar 31

ASHLAND, Ohio - Ashland University senior Janice Richards will present her capstone art piece at the 2016 Senior Art Exhibition, which features the capstone pieces of all graduating art majors.

The Exhibition, which opens on Thursday, April 7, will have an opening reception from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Coburn Art Gallery located in the Center for the Arts on AU's campus. The senior art awards will be announced at 5 p.m. at the reception.

This year's senior art exhibition at Ashland University will run from April 7 to May 14.

"While the 2016 Senior Art Exhibition provides the capstone experience for graduating art majors, it represents more than just students' studio art experiences," said Cynthia Petry, director of the Coburn Gallery. "For these students of the liberal arts, the exhibition is the culmination of their undergraduate careers at Ashland University."

Richards, from Clinton, Ohio, will graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fine Arts (Painting Concentration) and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Art History. She is a 2012 graduate of Manchester High School.

In addition to her involvement in the art department, Richards is a member of the Alpha Lambda Delta honor society and the Psi Chi honorary at AU.

Upon graduation, Richards will be attending Walsh University starting August 2016 to pursue graduate studies in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Expressive Therapies.
