University of Dubuque Students Showcase Artwork in "The Edge Show"

DUBUQUE, Iowa - An annual spring exhibit by students in the University of Dubuque's Department of Digital Art and Design is the latest show at the Bisignano Art Gallery on campus.

"The Edge Show" is on display Monday, March 24, 2025, through Wednesday, April 9, 2025, at the art gallery inside Heritage Center, 2255 Bennett Street. The show is free and open to the public.

Approximately 30 student artworks are on display. The digital images and illustrations include digital paintings, graphic illustrations, imagined landscapes, contemporary icons, expressive portraits, and abstract expressions.

The Department of Digital Art and Design's emphasis is on client-driven projects. Through "The Edge Show," students gain the experience of presenting digital expressions in a fine arts format as all digital art and design majors are required to submit one digital artwork that they have created outside of a class project for the exhibit.

"As faculty, we are continually inspired by the innovative spirit and determination our students display in 'The Edge Show.' Their ability to push creative boundaries and articulate their unique perspectives through art is truly remarkable, and we are honored to support their artistic journeys," said Sheila Sabers, MAC, head of the Department of Digital Art and Design and assistant professor of digital art and design, and Jean Holdener, PhD, co-head of the Department of Digital Art and Design and assistant professor of digital art and design, in a joint statement.

Gallery hours are noon to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The art gallery is also open in conjunction with all major events in John and Alice Butler Hall, Heritage Center.
