USU Ceramics Alumni Exhibition

Exhibition

SCENIUS is a group exhibition of faculty and graduate student alumni of Utah State University (USU). Coined by musician and record producer Brian Eno, the term scenius refers to the extraordinary creativity and ingenuity that can emerge from communities, places, or "scenes". For the past twenty-five years, faculty members John Neely and Dan Murphy have cultivated such an environment within USU's graduate ceramics program. This exhibition highlights this pivotal period in the program's history and explores the unique qualities that define USU's scenius.

This exhibition runs March 17–31 in the Tippetts & Eccles Galleries with a reception March 24 from 5–8 p.m. The galleries are open M–F from 9 a.m.–5 p.m.
