BSU Portfolio Show

The annual Boise State University Design / Illustration Portfolio Show is coming up once again.  Each spring, students share their work with the community at large.  This year’s event takes place as part of the First Thursday festivities in downtown Boise on Thursday, May 7th.

A few more details about the show that the students passed along:

Busy Thursday night? Clear your schedule.
Long day at class or work? Take a load off.
Have nothing of any merit to do? You do now.

Head down to Beside Bardenay on First Thursday in May to check out the portfolios of Boise State’s Graphic Design and Illustration students. Stimulate the economy by giving us jobs, or support the arts by telling us how awesome we are. If it helps to tell you that we’ll have a bar, then, well, we’ll have a bar. We’ll be there between 5 and 9 PM, so be there or feel really bad when all of your friends show up and wonder where you were.

Featuring the talents of:
-Ferijala Balic
-James Calentino
-Jackie Elo
-Cody Evans
-Allen Gladfelter
-May Hernandez
-Sarah McCarthy
-Tara Roark

Take the time to attend.  You’ll see some talented students who would love any feedback you’d give them.
