We have a lot of range of work here, ranging from traditional media to cutting edge, even some AI inspired works.

Basically anything from handmade to high tech.

Hi, my name is David Short.

I am the head of the Department of Art and Design here at UMD, and we are standing here amongst the work for our biennial faculty exhibition.

Ultimately, regardless of the medium that we're using here, and our instructors are creating, it's still about that human narrative, that connection between viewer and the piece.

Doing this once every other year gives the faculty a chance to show how they're remaining curious, and they are exploring not only within their own mediums that they tend to teach or exist in, but they will oftentimes even explore outside of that zone or adjacent zones to it.

Sometimes.

And it becomes so critical to at that point show the students that, hey, we are practicing what we preach.

Here it is know now, what do you think?

What are you going to do?

How are you going to see what's next in art?

The length of the show does run through February 27th, and obviously it's here at the Tweed Museum on campus.

It is free.

It is completely open to anyone in the community to come in and engage.

That's the joy of art.

We're eliciting an emotion which might be good might be the opposite of good, but at least it's creating a dialog with the artist.
