Art Faculty Show
Opening reception: Thursday, September 25, 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Exhibit: September 26 – October 23, 2025
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the prophetic announcement that Ricks College would become a four-year institution, Brigham Young University Idaho, the Jacob Spori Art Gallery is pleased to present Legacy in Color, an invitational exhibition honoring the creative accomplishments of alumni from the past quarter century. Featuring nearly 70 works from graduates across the country, the exhibition showcases a wide range of artistic disciplines, including graphic design, illustration, photography, painting, ceramics, sculpture, and more. Each piece reflects the artistic growth, vision, and professional excellence fostered through a BYU Idaho education.
The exhibition takes inspiration from the words of Jacob Spori in 1888:
“The seeds we are planting today will grow and become mighty oaks, and their branches will run all over the earth.”
That vision continues to be fulfilled as these alumni share their talents and creative influences far beyond the university. Legacy in Color is both a celebration of individual artistic journeys and a tribute to the collective impact of a transformative educational experience at BYU Idaho.
