“Soul Man” features special guests Jason and Dan Ploof.
St. Cloud State University’s 54th annual Juried Student Art Exhibit opened virtually in May with a virtual reality gallery and an online format.
The exhibit showcased the work of a number of senior art students. In all, 22 works are included the exhibit by 20 students in a variety of mediums.
Dr. Bill Gorcica and students Bigyan Lama Thing and Ben Toftey, worked in consultation with Mark Gill from the Visualization Lab to develop the virtual exhibit. Juror Mary Bruno viewed the work online and chose the juror’s choice awards for the virtual show.
Music students also worked together to present their talents virtually before the end of the academic year.
Senior music composition students presented personal compositions in a Virtual Composers Convocation on Zoom, while Dr. Terry Vermillion directed two virtual compilation performances by the Contemporary Music Ensemble. Student Jack Wald helped compile the videos for presentation.
St. Cloud State University Concert Choir singers also presented one of their 2020 performances virtually.
Twenty-seven students came together to perform composer Sydney Guillaume’s “Kanaval” virtually. The singers recorded themselves performing separately and alumnus Jeff Kantos ’12 combined the video and audio into a single performance.
