Take 5: Student artwork on display

Look around Northeastern’s campus, and art­work is all around you—from indoor exhibits to sculp­tures throughout the quads. The uni­ver­sity reg­u­larly hosts public art shows, artists-​​in-​​residence pro­grams and other art-​​themed events. This spring, a beau­tiful new mural adja­cent to the Curry Stu­dent Center kicked off the university’s new public art ini­tia­tive, which will pro­vide fac­ulty, stu­dents, alumni and guest artists with campus space to create exciting art­work that inspires the com­mu­nity and beyond.

Stu­dent art is an essen­tial com­po­nent to the works fea­tured across campus. Here’s a run­down of where you can find art­work pro­duced by North­eastern students:

Gallery 360:
The 1,000-square-foot gallery, located within a cor­ridor between the Curry Stu­dent Center and Ell Hall, hosts about 20 shows a year and reg­u­larly fea­tures stu­dents’ work. One of these shows is the annual Senior Exhi­bi­tion in the spring. The Inter­na­tional Vil­lage lobby also hosts Gallery 360 shows.

Ryder Hall:
From paint­ings and pho­tographs to sculp­tures and light instal­la­tions, Ryder Hall is chock full of stu­dents’ work throughout the year.

Project Art Lift:
New to campus this fall is an instal­la­tion called Project Art Lift, which fea­tures repro­duc­tions of the works of stu­dents, alumni and fac­ulty in the ele­va­tors at six campus sites: Columbus Place, the Curry Stu­dent Center, Snell Library, the Marino Center, and the Egan Research Center. The art­work covers the doors and walls of the ele­va­tors, and it will rotate throughout the sites every two months.

Meserve Hall: CAMD Art Walk and Open House
On Thursday from 3–4:30 p.m., stu­dents in the Col­lege of Arts, Media and Design are encour­aged to stop by the college’s Office of Aca­d­emic Advising and Coop­er­a­tive Edu­ca­tion located at 100 Meserve for the CAMD Art Walk and Open House. The exhi­bi­tion fea­tures CAMD stu­dents’ pho­tographs that reflect the theme of global engage­ment through co-​​op, study abroad, Dia­logue of Civ­i­liza­tions pro­grams and more. Stu­dents can enjoy refresh­ments as they peruse the gallery, vote for their favorites and say hello to their aca­d­emic adviser and co-​​op coor­di­nator. The exhi­bi­tion will also be up through the entire aca­d­emic year for the entire North­eastern com­mu­nity to come by and see.

West Vil­lage H:
A new exhibit in West Vil­lage H this fall fea­tures photos from the streets of Cuba that were taken by stu­dents on the Dia­logue of Civ­i­liza­tions pro­gram this summer. There is an opening recep­tion for the exhibit on Monday, Sept. 29 at 5 p.m. The exhibit marks the first col­lab­o­ra­tion between the Col­lege of Arts, Media and Design’s pho­tog­raphy pro­gram and Northeastern’s new public art initiative.
