WSU Vancouver Art Students
12/4/24 – 1/5/25, Cascadia Brewing Evergreen Pub
“Tap In / Tap Out is a student-curated exhibition reflecting the transitory position experienced by upcoming graduates at WSU Vancouver. The show builds on the anticipation felt as undergraduate programs come to an end and new avenues as artists begin to open. Visitors are encouraged to tap into the creative atmosphere and engage with artwork, while simultaneously tapping out of the pressures and uncertainties that accompany moments of transition and transformation.
Alongside the theme of new beginnings, “Tap In / Tap Out” reflects students’ connectivity, growth, and engagement within their communities. The diverse selection of works becomes a web of different styles, offering a glimpse into each artistic journey and the experiences that have shaped the inner worlds of these artists. The show may be a celebration of farewells, but it is also a celebration of the creativity and talent of the next generation of emerging artists.
“Tap In / Tap Out” includes two sub-shows, “West Coasters” and “Bytes.” One uses the coaster as a canvas, transforming an everyday object into a platform for art. The other focuses on digital works created by students and community members, presenting visual appetizers that aim to leave viewers emotionally fulfilled.
Enormous thanks to Brothers Cascadia Brewing for being such a supportive, welcoming host!
