The YSU Department of Art presents the closing reception for its Winter Art Exhibition, which featured the work of five independent artists.
Julia Betts, The Dams are Broken

She is an adjunct professor at Carnegie Mellon University.
Anna Chapman, Underworld/Otherworld
Anna Chapman is an artist and educator whose work aims to create reconciliatory relationships to place, community, materiality, and voice on both the personal and collective levels, influenced by the social sciences, humanities, ecology, and the healing arts.
