The Southeastern Louisiana University Contemporary Art Gallery’s first exhibition of its 2026 program is the 2026 Alumni Exhibition, a wide-ranging survey celebrating six decades of artistic production by alumni of the Visual Art and Design Department.
The exhibit runs from Jan. 29 through Feb. 25.
Featuring work by 40 alumni spanning graduating classes from 1965 to 2025, the exhibition highlights the impact and evolving practices of Southeastern-trained artists.
Gallery Director Cristina Molina said the exhibition brings together a mix of media, including sculpture, video installation, painting and drawing, printmaking, ceramics, graphic design and photography.
“Collectively, the works reflect both the breadth of the department’s pedagogical legacy and the diverse directions alumni have pursued in their professional practices,” she said.
“Viewers will encounter artworks rooted in personal narratives and works that expand outward to address shared concerns — engaging Louisiana’s treasured yet precarious landscape, questions of cultural memory, and pressing social realities shaping contemporary life. The exhibition offers a timely reflection on how artists respond to place, personhood, and the present moment.”
Located at 411 Ned McGehee Dr., gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to noon Friday.
An opening reception will be from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Jan. 29.
