Horton Gallery, Carrie Cook and Abi Semtner use a soundtrack of Dolly Parton songs to investigate their own histories of loss for the exhibition Doing It Like Dolly Does...How Does Dolly Do It.

In the Grace R. Cavnar Gallery, Dan Rule's exhibition Neutral Ground explores the evocative term for road medians in New Orleans through drawings, prints, animations and video. In the Project Space, Xochi Solis uses found imagery, vinyl, plastics, paint and colored paper to create large site-specific paintings for the exhibition Rivers of Our Vision.
