An art collection entitled “Capturing Neptune’s Realm: The Sea and Shore on Paper” will open in the Holt-Russell Gallery in Parmenter Hall shortly after the start of the fall term.

The nautical-themed collection was selected from the Baker University Art Collection by Curator Brett Knappe and prepared by Assistant Curator Melissa Musick.

Knappe said the collection is “primarily prints and some water color.” Works in the collection were created by mostly American artists, with a few pieces by European artists.

Knappe will also teaching a Quest class of a name similar to the exhibit’s this fall. His students will observe and write about the gallery and learn about the ocean, sea, and nautical imagery though various media.

The gallery will officially open on Aug. 28 with an evening reception from 4:30 to 6 p.m.
