Exhibition: STEAM Studio, Six Years in the Making

UNC Asheville’s STEAM studio will present an exhibition of works, “UNCA Steam Studio: 6 Years In The Making” at the S. Tucker Cooke Gallery in Owen Hall on UNC Asheville’s campus, with a public reception on Aug. 31 from 5-9 p.m. The gallery will continue to host the exhibition until Sept. 14.

STEAM studio was founded in 2016 by a collective of artists and engineers at UNC Asheville who saw value in radical collaboration between and integration of the sciences, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics in education as a way to address complex problems through multidisciplinary solutions. Organized into three main areas of focus; academic classes, community outreach, and special projects, STEAM Studio serves as a bridge between the incredible work happening at UNC Asheville’s main campus and our greater community.

The show represents the emergence, overlap and interactions of these three areas of focus over the past six years. The work is diverse, constructed with a wide range of media, for a wide range of purposes, and often created by collaborative teams. In some cases, work was created by an individual and is presented here as a manifestation of the learning process and curriculum development.
