The Hillstrom Museum of Art at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter will present "Permanent? Senior Show 2008," an exhibition featuring the work of 12 senior studio art majors at the college. The show will be on display from Saturday, May 3, through Sunday, June 1, with an opening reception scheduled for 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. May 3.

The works on display were created using a variety of different materials, including traditional media such as painting on canvas, watercolor or pastel on paper, ceramics, and photography in color and black and white. There are also prints, sculptural works made of pressed paper, and works of charcoal on paper.

The exhibition was selected from a group of submissions by each artist, and the jury process was carried out by the art faculty of the College.
