For the second year in a row, Maryville University’s Senior Graphic Design Show will be held in the Center Court of Plaza Frontenac. The show, featuring the work of 22 Maryville students, opens March 22 with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m., and runs through April 1.
“Design is a part of everyday life and this senior exhibit places design right in the middle of public conversation,” said Cherie Fister, M.F.A., associate professor of art & design at Maryville and director of the University’s graphic design program. “Last year, Plaza Frontenac provided a lovely setting with easy access to the exhibit and we look forward to that again this year.”
Admission to the show is free. Viewing hours will be 10 a.m. -8 p.m., Monday – Friday; 10 a.m. -7 p.m., Saturday; and noon – 5 p.m., Sunday. Plaza Frontenac is located at the intersection of Clayton Road and Lindbergh Boulevard.
