DART Senior Thesis

Bisignano Art Gallery

The Edge Show is an annual spring event where all DART majors are required to submit one digital artwork that they have created for the show – they cannot use a class project. The DART program’s emphasis is on client-driven projects not in the fine arts. The Edge Show allows our students the experience of presenting digital expressions in a fine arts format for the gallery. Students have an outlet to explore composition, process and media outside the classroom using their objectives and establish their visual voice to communicate through image.

There will be approximately 30 student artworks on display. The digital images and illustrations range from digital paintings, graphic illustrations, imagined landscapes, contemporary icons, expressive portraits, and abstract expressions.

Director, DART 

Each senior worked throughout the semester in their Senior Seminar class to showcase the immense breadth and voice of their talent. The students chose an independent and specific theme for their collection of pieces accompanied by a brief artist statement to describe their vision and passion as an artist as well as their gratitude to everyone who helped them to achieve their goal.

Our 
Story

Welcome to the Bisignano Art Gallery. We are in the Heritage Center. Open Monday-Friday, 12pm-5pm. Always free.

The Mission of the Charles and Elizabeth Bisignano Art Gallery is:
  • To serve University of Dubuque students, faculty, staff, and the surrounding community by bringing diverse exhibits to campus. 
  • To support the mission of UD by connecting visual arts to other disciplines via educational programming and collaborations. 
  • To promote UD to the tri-state area and beyond by welcoming the public to attend (in person and virtually) the exhibits.

The Bisignano Art Gallery is the programming arm and primary resource for the Digital Art and Design Department. The Gallery features multiple in-house curated exhibitions a year. It also serves as the primary display space for students and faculty on campus, providing opportunities through juried student shows, Senior Thesis exhibitions and faculty shows. We are excited to support these artists and see their work this year.
