Photo gallery Student artists share their work at Open Studio Day
From paintings to pottery to sculpture to photography, creativity was out in full force at the Nov. 5 Open Studio Day hosted by the UW Art Department. More than 50 artist studios were open to the public to stop in. Visitors could watch artists work, see their creations and talk with them about the meanings. The studios are on the 6th and 7th floors of the Humanities Building and in the Art Lofts Building.
