Creative Cardinals

January 11 - January 27, 2012

Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum exhibits the work of SVSU faculty and staff

The Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum is hosting an exhibition, Creative Cardinals, through Saturday, January 28.

“Many SVSU faculty members and staff are extremely talented outside their normal university responsibilities, and so last August we put out a call for entries for a Creative Cardinals (the cardinal is the SVSU mascot) exhibition at the Museum. We were ecstatic when 28 faculty members and staff submitted more than 50 works of art for the exhibition,” said Marilyn Wheaton, Museum Director.

Paintings, photographs, ceramic work, stained glass, graphic design, poetry, quilts, wood guitar, and Kachina dolls comprise the exhibition. All of the artists are employed by SVSU. See attachment for complete lists of artists and titles.

Craig Snook, Assistant Director of Creative Services in University Communications, entered three paintings in the exhibition. He said, “The Creative Cardinal exhibition offers SVSU faculty members and staff an opportunity to show others what creative activities they do both inside and outside of their roles at the University. It is amazing to see all the hidden talents this show has exposed. I think this is going to be a popular, annual event!”

This exhibition is made possible by $1,000 contribution from Bill and Sue Vititoe. Sue is chair of the Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum Board of Advisors
