Throughout a year-long seminar, senior studio art majors engage in sustained and critical studio inquiry that results in the creation of ambitious and cohesive bodies of artwork, a selection of which are included in an end-of-year thesis exhibition. Under the collective direction of Dickinson's studio art faculty, the students develop individual projects made in a variety of media and share a commitment to the investigation of conceptual, material, formal, historical, political, and aesthetic concepts in their scholarship

This exhibition offers a survey of artworks donated by art historian, curator, eductor, and Dickinson College alumnus Eric Denker '75, PhD to The Trout Gallery collection. Since his graduation from Dickinson fifty years ago, Dr. Denker received his doctorate from the University of Virginia before working as a Senior Lecturer at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC and serving as the Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Dr. Denker brings his art historical expertise to this exhibition that highlights a selection of works donated to The Trout Gallery. Over the decades, The Trout Gallery has received nearly 900 objects from Dr. Denker. The themes presented in this exhibition offer viewers an introduction to the breadth and depth of Dr. Denker's scholarly and aesthetic interests and generous giving, as well as to the diverse approaches to printmaking across geographies, cultures, and time periods.
