Note to Self

The Annual Alumni Exhibition is a celebrated event that showcases the talents and artistic journeys of former students. Note to Self features the introspective and autobiographical works of Briena Harmening (‘05, Art), Quinn Miller (‘15, Art), and Caitlin Rosolen (‘17, Art). The exhibition provides a rich and varied palette of mediums—textile art, printmaking, photography, and painting — allowing each artist to convey their personal narratives and reflections. This exhibition not only celebrates the individual journeys of the artists but also reflects the diverse paths taken by alumni, highlighting the lasting impact of their artistic education. Visitors are encouraged to engage with the works, discovering the layers of meaning and personal significance imbued in each piece.

Sponsored by the FGCU Alumni Association, Gene and Lee Seidler, the Wasmer Endowment, WGCU Public Media and the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture, the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
