Drawn into Conflict: The Evolution of War Comics
Drawn into Conflict: The Evolution of War Comics opens in the Carlson Library South
Gallery on January 12, 2026 and runs through February 27.
This exhibit explores war comics, gender roles, and how the lowly comic book served as propaganda for, criticism of, and escapism from war.
Layers - Deb A. Davis and Barbara W.F. Miner
Layers will run January 20, 2026 through March 13 in the Carlson Library North Gallery
Using mixed media and different approaches to art practice, Deb A. Davis and Barbara W. F. Miner create artworks inspired by the resilience of nature, meditative observation, scientific processes, and the impact of human biology and behavior. Shapes, textures, and mark making techniques push the visual elements through layers of revelation, camouflage, and concealment.
