A rare look at the works of pioneering artist Edgar Degas comes to St. Augustine’s Lightner Museum in Edgar Degas: The Private Impressionist – Works on Paper by the Artist and His Circle. Edgar Degas, one of the leading lights of the 19th-century art scene, is best known for his enchanting paintings of ballet dancers on and off the stage. But little is widely known about the enigmatic artist’s life and personality. Featuring over fifty original works by Degas, The Lightner Museum offers unique insights into Degas’ inner world and the opportunity to see rarely exhibited works from the private collection of curator Robert Flynn Johnson.
Edgar Degas: The Private Impressionist is on view at the Lightner from April 12 – June 16, 2019. Our limited-engagement showing is free for museum members or for $5 above the price of museum admission. For more information visit LightnerMuseum.org.

Graphic Design Student Portfolio Showcase

On Thursday, May 2 at 6 p.m.in the Virginia Room of the Ringhaver Student Center on Flagler College’s campus, Flagler’s graphic design senior students will be exhibiting their portfolio work. There are 33 seniors exhibiting their graphic design portfolios and found inspiration in the number to make the theme an 80s theme – 33 years ago.
The senior portfolio is an accumulation of their undergraduate careers. The portfolios include projects from many areas of design – branding, advertising, web design, mobile apps, animations, packaging, environmental design, illustration and photography. This bi-annual show provides a platform for students to present their work to professionals, family, friends and the local community.
“Each student has created a body of work that represents who they are as a designer. Their design projects showcase their strengths and demonstrate how they’ve used creativity to solve communication problems. We have a talented group this semester,” said Natalie Stephenson, assistant professor of graphic design.
There were two portfolio classes this spring, taught by Assistant Professors Natalie Stephenson and Chris Smith.
Smith said, “Not only does the Portfolio Show offer our current graphic design students an inspiring preview of what to expect in the program, the event also serves as an effective means for industry professionals to come and take a look at potential new hires.”
Designers include: Dani Acevedo, Will Ashmore, Britain Brown, Karese Burrows, Kristin Busitzky, Emily Cadwallader, Marcus Chan, Maddie Cheney, Matthew Conner, Ellie Dawson, Genevieve Ehlers, Brittany Farley, Jackson Hall, Natalie Harris, Sarah Langston, Emily Lemp, Vincent Lendering, Caitlin Lopez, Sarah MacDonald, Lauren Mason, Travis May, Cammy McWilliams, Bethany Mincey, Mason Mushinski, Courtney Patterson, Chelsea Ray, John Roberts, Lisa Schweikert, Christian Seymour, Meghan Vargas, Lane Weinheimer, Sadie Weisberg and Sarah Weisman.
