Currently on exhibit at the Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery at Southern Utah University is an impromptu presentation of work by four artists included in the Fall 2004 Arts Major Seminar Series.
The individuals included represent a balance between the fine and applied arts: Dave Richardson, Graphic Designer and Assistant Professor at SUU; Brian Kershisnik, painter; Robert Neubecker, illustrator; Richard Leray, artist and master craftsman.
The Exhibit includes in-person lectures, at designated times, by each of the artists. This opportunity to see a diverse range of visual artists present and speak about their work will provide students, faculty and the community with a weekly infusion of visual art from "the outside world."
Dave Richardson will present on September 9 at 7 p.m. in the PE Building at SUU, Room 101
Dave is the newest faculty member of SUU’s Art Department. He comes from Indiana University in Bloomington. He will augment the rapidly-growing Graphic Design program with expertise in new media technologies, specifically interactive and web design.

Brian Kershisnik will present on September 16 at 7p.m. in the PE Building, Room 101

Robert Neubecker will present on September 30 at 7 p.m. in the PE Building, Room 101
