Artwork from Vancouver Island University students goes on display to the public this week.

Progressions is an annual, end-of-year event featuring the best work from students in the visual arts, graphic design and interior design and allows the opportunity to recognize the achievements of students from each department.

Paintings, photography and printmaking from upper level visual art students will be featured in the campus location of the Nanaimo Art Gallery.

The finest from graphic design students in years 1-3, including design, typography, illustration and photography, will be featured in the hallways and classrooms on the second floor of the art and design building (325), while work from interior design students, including elegant floor plans and unique business and room designs, will be featured in the lobby of the Malaspina Theatre.

Work from students in all programs will be exhibited throughout the art and design building.

The work will be on display from April 20 to May 5. An awards ceremony is set for Friday (April 20), 7 p.m., at the Malaspina Theatre, followed by refreshments in the art and design building.
