As part of the FGCU Art Galleries’ continuation of site-specific projects, FGCU alumni Ehren Gerhard (’09, Art) and Michael Santacroce (’20, Art) are collaborating on two mural-style paintings to be installed at the end of the Arts Complex Courtyard. The murals explore how the Psychology of Sustainability is incorporated into everyday life and the challenge to understand the full impact those choices have in relation to the environment.

At the end of their studies, art majors are required to develop and present a coherent body of self-generated work. This exhibition combines their knowledge of techniques and concepts while drawing on research of historical and contemporary artists. Each senior art major in the exhibition designs and creates a unique installation that combines their technical skills and conceptual vision.

Sponsored by The Layden Family Foundation, The Smith Family Foundation of Estero, WGCU Public Media and the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture, the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
