The Dorrance H. Hamilton Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of

BOSS Show 2025 – Best of Salve Student Show 2025.

Each September the Salve Regina Department of Art and Art History presents

its annual survey of outstanding student artwork drawn from the full spectrum

of visual art courses taught on campus. This juried exhibition showcases creative

achievement at all studio levels, from introductory to advanced, in a wide variety

of media. This year’s exhibition features a range of artwork from both art majors

and non-art majors in the areas of photography, painting, drawing, illustration,

ceramics, graphic design, sculpture, and digital media.

This year’s juror is Curtis Speer of Newport’s CUSP Gallery and the Newport

Artists Collective.  Speer is an accomplished photographer, entrepreneur, and

advocate for the arts.

An awards ceremony for BOSS Show 2025 is scheduled during the gallery

reception on Thursday, September 11. Immediately following the announcement

of awards in the Gallery, the Department of Art and Art History invites all students

majoring and/or minoring in Studio Art and Art History to attend an orientation

event next door in DiStefano Hall. BOSS Show 2025 runs through Wednesday,
