The series – named “Living Gallery Studio Series” – highlights a guest on Instagram’s IG TV at 2:00pm every Tuesday and Thursday.
The department has 20 guests scheduled for the virtual series through the first week of August, said Paul Collins, professor of painting for APSU Art + Design.
“The shows have driven a lot of interest on our departmental social media, connecting our community by talking about the creative process and how everyone is coping with the chaos of 2020,” Collins said.
The series launched on June 16th with student Sarah Spillers, one of the 2020 Art + Design Summer Research Award winners. Professor McLean Fahnestock, assistant professor of foundations for Austin Peay State University Art + Design, followed on June 18th.

“The series may continue into the fall, or at least help to develop our tactics for virtual programming this fall,” Collins said.
The Living Gallery is a dedicated space for student creative research in the heart of the APSU Art + Design building on campus.
