With much ado concerning the construction in the South Santiam Hall, it was a lot of work for students to get ready for this year's show. With contractors working in the gallery area putting in replacements for new lighting, trim and paint, it wasn't until Thursday, May 8, at the last minute that they had received word that they could get into the area to put the show up for Sunday May 11. 

 "Gary Westford and three graphic design undergraduates painted the gallery on Friday afternoon helping to ready the space. The graduating class and I began the process of cleaning the gallery and surrounding areas at 10 a.m. and worked until 10 p.m. to complete the installation,"according to John Aikman, the graphic art instructor.

Monday night the opening was held for the Graphic Design Art Show with the attendance of over 150 guests with many alumni included in that number.

For those that are still interested the show, the show will be running until Friday, May 29.
