Art Exhibit - Meet the Team

An art exhibition of 2D paintings by current executive members of the Student Art Alliance (SAA) at USD is currently on display at the I.D. Weeks Library, first floor gallery, from February 27th, 2023, to March 31st, 2023. This exhibit, titled “Meet the Team”, is made up of contemporary subjects and reflects current work by the SAA board.  SAA is a group of students who love art, and who love being creative, whether they major in art or not. SAA strives to get students excited and involved in the arts. Their goal is to reach a larger audience with their works, and they want to introduce themselves with this exhibit to the student body. Grace Reiffenberger, president of SAA stated: “We hope that these works will get the students interested in who we are, and what our organization is all about”.
