The Charles Danforth Gallery

The work of each artist, which includes photography, printmaking, painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, design, and other mixed media, was completed 
by students fulfilling class assignments throughout the year. Each submission was judged on technical execution and ideas reflecting a broad range of 
media and at all stages in academic development.  Honorary Judges Bruce Brown and Judith Sobol 
selected pieces for awards that were carefully 
crafted, thoughtfully developed and designed, and that provoked a dialogue.

     The UMA art program offers a bachelors degree in studio art with courses in drawing, painting, 
sculpture, ceramics, design, printmaking, electronic arts, and photography.
