Rediscovered Treasures brings back hidden paintings and forgotten prints made by students and faculty years ago. Most are signed and a few are anonymous. Many were done by students in their formative years.
鈥淓arly artwork shows raw talent and ideas are planted here before they grow,鈥� said Robin Vanhoozer, curator. 鈥淪tudents find their voices in these pieces and the ability to take risks is fostered here. The years pass, time ages the paper and fades the color. This collection brings old dreams to light and demonstrates important first steps. Rediscovered Treasures showcases the value of fostering the creative process and the rich tradition of art making in our community.鈥�
