Ringling College Alumni

Alumni, did you get to experience the incredible student-curated Roots & Resilience exhibition while it was on campus at the Lois and David Stulberg Gallery? 🎨✨

Created entirely by students, this exhibition explored the enduring legacy of African American artists. From concept development to interpretive storytelling, every element was designed by our talented students to honor each artist’s voice and encourage dialogue between past and present. It is a powerful example of the hands-on, real-world experience Ringling College students are gaining today!

Take a look back at the behind-the-scenes collaborative process, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11Srp0roX2g&t=31s, and let us know in the comments—what immersive exhibitions you helped design or curate during your time at Ringling? 👇
