All-Ages Banner-Making Workshop

Join University Galleries staff for a free, all-ages banner-making workshop inspired by the work of Aram Han Sifuentes, whose exhibition We Are Never Never Other was held at University Galleries in 2019.

This workshop is held in conjunction with the University Galleries exhibition All Hearts Beneath the Sun, which is on view from July 24 to September 17, 2023. To celebrate University Galleries’ 50^th anniversary, the first exhibition of the 2023-2024 academic year features selected works from the permanent collection. These prints, sculptures, textiles, photographs, paintings, drawings, and a film demonstrate University Galleries’ commitment to supporting students, alumni, and exhibiting artists through acquisitions, exhibitions, programming, partnerships, and publications. The exhibition labels not only feature information about each of the artworks on view, but also stories about each artist’s history with University Galleries.

The exhibition title is excerpted from the title of a lithograph made by artist Bethany Collins at Normal Editions Workshop in conjunction with her solo exhibition at University Galleries; the collaborative project was one of many partnerships between the two university units. All Hearts Beneath the Sun, a phrase quoted by Collins from a poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., serves as the exhibition title to acknowledge both a sense of community surrounding University Galleries’ exhibitions and the passage of time indicated by an anniversary.
