Time, blood, sweat, and tears have turned us into the artist equivalent of: The Breakfast Club, the kids from The Sandlot, The Little Rascals, The Barden Bellas, and Dom and them from Fast and Furious. We’ve been through a lot to make it to this point and we aren’t just leaving with degrees anymore. We have all grown as designers, illustrators, and people during the time we’ve spent together.

As the name suggests, Fruition is a reflection of not only where we are now but also how much we have grown. Just like the other groups we are all very different but we are connected by one important thing: our mutual love for art and design. Even though we have been taught in the same place by the same instructors we are far from carbon copy or cookie cutter designers. Our various styles are too vast to name. As a collective we cover a unique spectrum of art and design aesthetic.

This group exhibition of soon-to-be graduates; Linzy Amen, Justin Barlow, Mary Braun, Katie Burns, Ryan Chester, Jamin Fedora, Chris Fishlock, Haley Flohr, Natalie Flores, Danny Gomez, Alan Hernandez, Tiffany Horne, Jessica Karcher, Kira Knerr, Lisa Kramer, Nathan Loftus, Lourdes Michelle, Kevin Mowry, Mariah Nabholz, Zach Nisen, Preston Oberholzer, Abby Provost, Eric Randazzo, Randy Renninger, Chad Rife, Kristen Saxty, Cait Senior, and Keith Tarnow; it will be quite an experience.

With so many different artists, personalities, and styles on display, our words don’t do it justice. Our work is a sight best seen in person.
