AP Studio Art & Design Artists Exhibit Their Work at Evanston Art Center

2/26/2025

Loyola Academy's AP Studio Art & Design Exhibition, now in its fourteenth year, is an annual celebration of student work in the visual arts held at the Evanston Art Center (EAC). Many of the students exhibiting work in the show have been in art courses at Loyola for two to four years and come from the following disciplines: studio (drawing, painting), graphics, photography, and architecture. The opportunity to present in a professional gallery is a unique and valuable experience for students and takes their artwork to a larger local audience.

Fourteen Ramblers participated in this year's exhibit, which opened at the EAC on Thursday, February 20. Each student carefully created a personal body of artistic work of sustained investigation. AP Studio Art & Design Teacher Justin Hart and Fine Arts Department Chair Pat Patterson assisted the students in curating and installing their work. Parents and friends joined the artists at an opening reception accompanied by student musician David Goetz '27 on piano. Loyola Academy President Rev. Greg J. Ostdiek, SJ, was also there to celebrate the artists.
