Book excerpt: Periodically, the Chazen Museum of Art hosts an exhibition that showcases the work of the UW-Madison art department faculty, who not only teach but actively pursue their own art. The exhibition is as diverse and innovative as the faculty and the art world at large, presenting paintings, sculpture, graphics, ceramics, textiles, woodwork, metalwork, glass, prints, and photographs, as well as performance, video, and computer art. The styles, media, and techniques seen at the finest national and international art shows are seen in the art department works. The 2008 exhibition featured twenty-seven current faculty, seven affiliates from related departments and Tandem Press, and seventeen emeritus faculty. Professor Dennis Miller designed this full-color-catalogue, including a custom-made font, to accompany the exhibition. It serves as a beautiful introduction to the art department, offering a synopsis of each artist's career and creative philosophy as well as images of most works in the exhibitions. The mission of the UW-Madison art department is to provide high-quality educational opportunities to students planning careers as professional visual artists and art educators as well as to offer programs for developing a visually literate community. The community exhibition is an outstanding expression of that commitment: for art students, seeing professors' professional work affords an understanding of the ways in which classroom activities are directly linked to creative practice.
