We’re proud to spotlight FSU Department of Art Assistant Professor of Ceramics Jonathan Christensen Caballero, whose solo exhibition, "The Feeling of Home | El Sentimiento," is currently on view at The Richard E. Peeler Art Center at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, through October 11, 2026.

This body of work focuses on his maternal home of Panama, weaving together the aesthetics of the Gran Coclé culture with contemporary symbols of daily life, including its animals, foods, agriculture, architecture, and people. The sculptures combine ceramics, gold, metal, textiles, and wood- traditional and contemporary materials that reflect Panama’s cultural heritage.

FSU alumni and friends gathered at the Tracey Morgan Gallery in Asheville to celebrate the opening of "Reflections," a survey exhibition of photographs by FSU alumna Evon Streetman (BFA 1954, Studio Art). The evening was a wonderful opportunity to honor Evon's remarkable artistic journey while also celebrating College of Fine Arts alumna and Dean’s Advisory Council member, Tracey Morgan (BA 1994, Art History), whose gallery continues to create space for meaningful artistic experiences and community connection. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special evening!
