Madison College's SOUL Affinity Group & The Division of Organizational Impact and Culture Present:

She Carried Us: Legacies of Labor, Love, and Liberation

The 5th Annual Dzigbodi Akyea Art Show

This year, the theme is "She Carried Us: Legacies of Labor, Love, and Liberation,” honoring the countless ways Black women have shaped our communities, our culture, and our future. This theme celebrates both the visible and invisible labor that has sustained generations, the love that has nurtured families and movements, and the ongoing fight for liberation that continues to transform our world.

Through creative, communal, and revolutionary work, Black women have shaped histories both personal and collective. This exhibition centers the often-overlooked contributions of Black women across generations: the hands that build, the hearts that hold, and the voices that challenge systems. 

A reception will be held on Thursday, February 5, from 5:30 to 8:00 pm.

Art Department Faculty Show

The Faculty Show celebrates the creative work of our talented art instructors. Featuring both 2D and 3D works, this exhibition highlights the diverse approaches, techniques, and perspectives that shape our fine arts disciplines at Madison College.

More than an exhibition, this show offers students and the broader college community a unique opportunity to experience the personal artistic practices of the faculty who guide their learning. By sharing their own creative studio work, these artists model the dedication, experimentation, and craftsmanship they bring into the classroom every day.

A reception will be held on Thursday, March 26, from 4:00 to 6:00 pm.

Annual Yahara Journal Student Showcase

The Yahara Journal is a Madison College student organization dedicated to supporting creativity and the arts at the college with poetry readings, open mics, writing, and the annual spring art show. “The journal staff enjoys hosting the art show and showcasing the creativity of students from all walks of life,” says Madison College advisor, Doug Kirchberg. “Some students enter works they've produced in classes, while others share items they've created on their own. Every year, we come away impressed.” The popular event is part of the celebration of the release of the Yahara Literary Journal each spring.
