Joe Schaeffer Exhibition
Joe Schaeffer (b. 1990) is a graphic designer, artist, and educator based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He teaches as Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at the University of Sioux Falls and co-owns Norse Art Space. Joe's personal art and design practice explores the overlap between commercial design and fine art. His work moves between abstraction and structure, examining how visual language functions across contexts--and how art can remain accessible within a culture shaped by branding and commerce. [Joe Schaeffer Website], This exhibition will be available for viewing from October 8th through November 13th, with a closing reception occurring on the evening of the 13th. All work is showcased in the Johnson Fine Arts Centre Art Gallery.
