POINT LOOKOUT, MO. — College of the Ozarks is hosting the “Urgent Unseen” Art Exhibit, now through Dec. 13. The exhibition is on display in the Boger Art Gallery in the Jones Learning Center, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

This exhibit is open to the public with no admission fee.

The artists of the exhibit are December 2024 graduating seniors Savannah Malam, Lydia Settles, Mallory Stroud, Brock Thompson, and Emma Thorpe. Their art will include works in paint, digital, and ceramic media.

Savannah Malam, exhibit artist and College of the Ozarks senior studying studio art with an emphasis in graphic design, shared the meaning of the name “Urgent Unseen.”

“The name of the exhibit was chosen by the graduating seniors who felt that all of their art shared the common theme of urgently seeking to bring beauty to the unseen places in our lives—such as bringing the beauty of nature indoors, or creating beautiful, durable art for everyday use,” Malam said.

There will be an opening reception on Monday, Dec. 9, from 4-6 p.m. that will provide the opportunity to celebrate the work of the graduating art students and to meet the artists who will answer any questions visitors may have.

“An event like the senior exhibit demonstrates to our campus community and to the broader Ozarks community the positive impact that our artists of Christian Faith will have as they bring excellence and light through their art into a dark world," said Dr. Richard W. Cummings professor of art, Boger Gallery director.

Several pieces in the gallery will be for sale and there will be a Senior Recital on Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 6:30 p.m. The graduating seniors will give a brief presentation about their journey through College of the Ozarks and the origins of the works displayed in the gallery.
