Current Exhibits
The Early Years at MTSU
"The Early Years at MTSU" is currently on display in the Special Collections department. The exhibit marks the MTSU centennial and presents Special Collections holdings of photographs, scrapbooks, and memorabilia associated with the University's initial years as well as early University and student publications. Most of the materials date from between 1911 and 1925. Among other items, the exhibit includes pennants, commencement invitations, meal tickets, and literary society records.
The exhibit will be on display through Spring 2012.
Artists’ Books:
Student works from the MTSU Book Arts program
The exhibit now on display in the Reading Room features work by students from MTSU’s Department of Art enrolled in ART 3550: Book Arts I during the 2011 fall semester. This exhibition continues the series of juried shows hosted by Special Collections featuring the work of MTSU’s Book Arts students.
Diverse objects and forms, everything from coffee cans to computer disks, make an unexpected appearance and expand the traditional book artists’ repertoire of materials and tools. Each work displayed is a unique item and reflects the learning goals of the classroom. However, these books also convey the individual creative spirit of their makers as they reflect on family, relate personal or humorous stories, and explore the expressive power of their materials.
The show opens February 1st and runs through April 18th.
Hours are 8:30 to 4:30 Monday through Friday.
