While in Italy, students and faculty are creating new work that is influenced by living in the historic city. In addition to working with other international artists and touring various locations throughout the country, the group is visiting the 57th Venice biennale, a massive international exhibition of contemporary art held at the historic international pavilions in the Giardini, the Arsenale, as well as countless sites throughout the city.
