This Can't Be It
This Can’t Be It features the work of Loyola seniors studying art and visual communication design. The work shown represents the culmination of each student’s experiences as a Fine Arts major. With a variety of approaches to making across multiple disciplines, this exhibition represents the ambition, passion, and activism that make Loyolans stand out. These students are challenging assumptions, mining the culture around them, and creating meaning through innovative design and compelling investigations of space, society and the self.
