ARTPLOSION! Who are we?
We are a new student association that was created in January 1995 to promote the expression of our generation
through any form of art. Our organization runs like a production company, i.e. producing shows and events, in
collarboration with numerous artistic and creative people of the Boston College Community. Since the
creation of the club, Artplosion has produced and collaborated with numerous student clubs, presenting successful and innovative shows at Boston College.
The GOAL: Student Art Gallery Space
When a petition was placed in the rooms of Devlin in 1994 for a student art gallery, our curiosity and interest arose. We were pleased to hear that efforts
had been put towards the discussion of the possibility of having a student art gallery in the new Student Center.
However, this project seems to have failed. To our disappointment, the layout of the new Student Center that was distributed
on campus did not include any facility for student art exhibitions. We are still convinced that this is a matter of utmost seriousness and
importance for both art majors and the student body at large. From our own personal experience and interviewing other students of the Boston College community, we believe that the artistic talent within the student body deserves more assertive attention.
