Grad students from across the country show work at Lionel Rombach Gallery

When the UA put out a national call for Master of Fine Arts candidates to submit artwork for an exhibit, Frank Rimbach did not hesitate to heed the call. Rimbach was chosen to be a part of "The Ties that Bind," a University of Arizona sponsored art show featuring the work of 17 graduate students from across the nation. Each student's work deals with issues of family, childhood and home represented in the visual arts. The exhibition, now on display at the Lionel Rombach Gallery in the UA Fine Arts Complex, ran under the same name in conjunction with the UA's annual Graduate Art History symposium in late February. In previous years, the gallery show has occurred along with the symposium and included only local MFA candidates. However this year, show curator Kohl Mathews wanted to open the exhibit to graduate students from across the country.
