A Decade of Opportunity: Celebrating 10 Years of the USI Efroymson Bridge Year Fellowship

The Kenneth P. McCutchan Art Center/Palmina F. and Stephen S. Pace (MAC/Pace) Galleries are excited to present A Decade of Opportunity: Celebrating 10 Years of the Efroymson Bridge Year Fellowship, featuring works from the first 10 recipients of the Fellowship. The exhibition is on display through March 17. 

The Efroymson Bridge Year Fellowship is a competitive award program that provides motivated and talented art and design graduates of USI’s Art and Design Department with the opportunity to develop a strong portfolio in preparation for graduate study, as well as hone the skills and resources needed to establish a career in the visual arts. All past Efroymson fellows are still active in their professional practice, creating unique work.  

Utilizing the University’s permanent collection, the show includes work from each participant’s original Efroymson Fellowship exhibition as well as recent works selected by each artist. Participants include Jamie Gray Williams ’11, Kristina (Fitzgerald) Arwood ’13, Jennifer Niswonger-Morris ’14, Jenna Citrus Rueger '15, Matthew Perez '15, Justin Cecil '17, Livia Xandersmith '18, Megan Thorne '19, Hannah Evelyn Jones '20 and Olivia Supper ’20. 

A reception for the exhibition will be held at 1 p.m. Sunday, March 12 in the MAC/Pace Galleries. The MAC/PACE, located in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center, is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1-4 p.m. Sunday.
