‘Ampersand’ exhibit at UW-Stevens Point
3/16/2015
 


Jillian Noble drew an ampersand a day for 100 days. Her continuous work has turned into an art exhibit at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point March 23-April 19.
 

An associate professor of graphic design at UW-Stevens Point, Noble will present “Ampersand” at the Carlsten Gallery, located on the second floor of the Noel Fine Arts Center. Forty prints of more than 100 ampersands will be on display. The show’s opening reception will be held Monday, March 30, from 4-6 p.m. 

“Beginning Sept. 12, 2013, I challenged myself to draw, digitize and publish one ampersand each day via a website titled am.persand.me,” said Noble. “On Dec. 20, 2013, I hit 100 ampersands in 100 days.” 

Noble has taught at UW-Stevens Point since 2007, specializing in web design, print production and environmental design. She is the co-founder of Elbongürk, a small graphic and web design firm in Stevens Point. Noble has also done work for the Chippewa Valley Historical Museum, helping to create multiple exhibitions and a multimedia object theater. She earned a master’s of fine arts in graphic design at Iowa State University.  

Free and open to the public, the Carlsten Gallery is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., plus Thursdays from 7–9 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 1–4 p.m. For more information, see www.uwsp.edu/art-design/Pages/Exhibitions/carlsten.aspx.
