A reception for the trio will be held on May 9, 2025, from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Gallery[6]. The second exhibit will run from June 16 to July 18, 2025[7].
In addition to these exhibits, the Campanella Gallery will also feature the works of Sofia McCroskie, a senior K-12 education/art major from Kansas City, Mo., who is a multimedia artist[8]. Cameron McMeekin, a senior fine art major from Springfield, Mo., will exhibit his nature-themed photography[9]. Cheri Regis, a senior digital marketing and fine art major from Parkville, Mo., will display her paintings, doll-making skills, and multidisciplinary art[10].
Regular business hours for the Campanella Gallery are as follows: May 5-9 - Monday-Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.[11]. From May 12 to July 18, the Gallery will be open Monday-Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Friday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Saturday-Sunday, closed[11].
