Ford Gallery exhibit brings together art from all over the region

The recent exhibit in the Ford Gallery, Emergence – ’15, brought together graduate art students from all over Michigan to display their artwork here to Eastern Michigan University. Many students found the exhibit to be exceptionally beautiful. Lauren Mleczko, a Fine Arts major at EMU, said “the art is very contemporary and deals with art topics that young people find amusing, the artists mostly use traditional techniques.” The gallery had artwork such as beaded rugs and studded rocks, which gave the gallery a different feel to the artwork.
