Twenty-eight students submitted work to this year’s Bachelor of Arts Exhibition (BAX). With the choice to submit one or two pieces for display, the
BAX online exhibit showcases 50 works of art by Grinnell third and fourth years. The pieces cover a range of mediums, including sculpture, photography, digital media, paintings on canvas and fiber art.
To accommodate the socially-distanced school year, the Studio Art Student Education Policy Committee (SEPC) has been planning BAX since the fall with two key components in mind: an in-person exhibition at the Grinnell College Museum of Art (GCMoA), and a virtual exhibit that can be accessed by Grinnellians around the world. As several students who submitted art to the exhibition are not in Grinnell or could not mail their pieces to the museum, only about half of the exhibition’s art is currently on display in the physical gallery.
