Campus Champion

Senior Chloe Loewenguth, treasurer of the Art Exhibition Association, knows that the club’s eclipse-viewing pinhole cameras will offer the campus community a unique eclipse viewing experience. For the Bachelor of Fine Arts art studio major the project demonstrates curating a collective experience, a concept she is studying this semester. Chloe didn’t take her art seriously until she stepped away from other commitments, including lacrosse and pursuing an education degree. Influenced early on by family, her study abroad trip to Florence, Italy, confirmed her passion of all things art. Preparing now for Student Select 2024, which begins April 15, Chloe’s independent work centers around mental health concepts.
