Hoping to see a big crowd tonight in celebration of our student artists! 7pm!

✨One of the highlights of each semester is working with Art & Art History Professor Eddy Lopez and his Art Design students as they create posters for our upcoming artists that are text-driven as opposed to image-driven. That's a challenging task!

✨Students choose an ensemble to highlight, research the group's branding, tour the Weis Center and learn more about our branding, and then -- they get to work!

✨Here are their finished products, pinned on the wall during the class critique. We will feature many of these wonderful designs as the season progresses!

🧡💙Bravo, Bucknell University students!
